    Hi,

    I can access WAP sites from my 6230i and would now like to establish
    internet connection for my laptop, via a Bluetooth link. I currently
    connect using a wireless home network Broadband connection, but would like
    to also heve internet on my laptop, whilst out "on the road". What exactly
    do I need to do? ISP is virgin broadband.

    Many Thanks

    Easiest way would be installing Nokia Data Suite.
    It has a wizard to help you get online.

    Or you can install the bluetooth driver.
    Personally I use IR (much easier than bluetooth)

    Depending on your mobile provider, many of them have Internet
    connection packages that you can download from their websites.

    O2, for instance, uses a nifty connection manager, which enables you to
    connect through cable, IR or bluetooth. You simply install it onto your
    laptop & away you go. I use it regularly & it works fine for me.

    Try set up your Nokia 6230i as a modem with bluetooth link to your PC. Make
    a connection to dail up to internet. Dailing Number should be "*99#" try to
    see if it works.

    good luck.

    Sure, if you go to

    http://www.o2.co.uk/services/waystoc...onmanager0153/

    That'll give you all the info. From what I can understand, most mobile
    providers use something similar.

    Those depend on who your carrier is, and what kind of plan you have.
    Some carriers require a user name and password, others don't. The
    APN tells the phone where to connect for data, and is very carrier
    specific.
    This has nothing to do with your ISP because you are not connecting
    to them. You are using the Cell Phone carriers network to access the
    internet. And the best place to get those is from your carriers web site.
