Morning,

Using a t68i's bluetooth connection to my 12" powerbook to provide a GPRS internet connection while traveling. Have T-Mobile and have installed drivers, set proxies, etc. as recommended. My problem is that I have only intermittent success achieving an internet connection. Some examples:

At home in Chicago, can connect but will not load an internet page (hangs).

New York City - same.

At the beach in New Jersey, have full connection (email, internet, etc.) and no problems.

In Kentucky, can access email through entourage but will not load an internet page (hangs).

Any thoughts on why it will work some places but not others?

Any help much appreciated...

Eric
