I was wondering if i can do that w/ my treo 650. I am thinking i'm missing that DUN program so i'm going to try to download etc. But just curious can that be possible. Cingular wants me to buy the 40/mo plan which i can't afford and i don't think it's worth it. The GPRS is fine for me. Any suggestion will help. Thanks in advance.

I think I found the answer, rather by accident. After some research and trying other people's help, i came up with this: UserName: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM Password: CINGULAR1 Phone Number: *99***1# Init String: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","isp.cingular" The probelem was all the writeups had the wrong Init string which failed to complete the login. notice the prefix of "AT+" on the init string. This was the problem. Once I corrected that, it connected in a matter of seconds. Hope the helps everyone.

I'm using a Belkin Bluetooth adaptor, a Sprint Treo 650 (with the new firmware--unlocked bluetooth DUN) and Windows XP with SP2 & all the latest KB upgrades.... I've had limited success with this, but when it works, it does work nicely. I was convinced that the Treo's pairing was problematic, since my old BT headset was always giving me trouble. I've since replaced the headset, and the Treo's doing nicely with it--so the paring headaches are coming from the computer. I recently upgraded the Bluetooth software from the Belkin website, and it seemed to help, sort of. By that I mean that pairing still craps out regularly; but at least it's obvious when it has happened now. When I want to start a BT conection to the Treo, I first remove the paring between the Treo and the Computer at both ends (I've found that it really does matter whether you clear both ends or not): On the Treo: go into the BT config --> Setup Devices --> Trusted Devices --> [SELECT THE COMPUTER] and remove it. On the Computer: Right click on the Treo Device and select Unpair. RE-Pair the devices. I've tried paring from both directions, and it seems to work better if you pair from the Computer to the Phone. Once the pairing is in place, turn on dial-up networking on the phone. Don't bother trying to connect to the net from the computer's normal network interfaces--it simply doesn't work. I open "My Bluetooth Places", then the treo device, then dial-up-networking. You can tell whether the pairing held if you get the dial-up dialogue. For my dial-up settings I use: Phone -- '#777'.... For an ID & Password, I use my Sprint Vision settings--the same ones that the phone uses to connect to VersaMail or Blazer. It turns out that the basic provisioning password is unknown by anyone--so I had to reset it. I wish I could remember how I did that process, but I beleive I handled it through the Sprint website (Been a LONG time ago). Getting past the authentication was a nightmare, because the failure isn't obvious..... I'm sure I've left a ton out here...I'll check back and see if it helps... Unfortunately there's been nothing simple about this setup...and being as I'm the type of geek who will mess with the technology for the sake of making it work, I'm not entirely sure it's worth it...but it does work on sprint with XPSP2 and a treo 650 and a belkin dongle.....

THe dell has BT as standard and the dell uses a Bluetooth Toshiba Stack. I have the right firmware and I can see that the BT connection is okay. Each device (Laptop & 650) can see one another but I do not know where to put the username, password or this *99***1# number for dial up connection. Can any one assist?

Try renaming the computer, reboot and re-pair. *aml said:

For the life of me I could not get DUN working using a USB Bluetooth adapter and Windows XP's built-in Bluetooth drivers. I saw the comment that I should use the drivers from the Bluetooth radio vendor and voila - it works! Thanks a ton for posting this little tidbit.

I ran into this error too and that fixed it. I assume it has something to do with authenticating your data connection. There may be a more permenant fix, I'd be glad to know it if you run across it. I've also written a how-to that addresses some of the more general aspects of setting up DUN on the Treo and may be helpful to non-cingular and Mac users.
