Greetings. I've searched and I've searched but cannot find any postings ANYWHERE regarding this. I had no problems connecting with 10.2 through Internet Connect/Bluetooth. Does anyone know if there is a procedure that does work with 10.3? This has been driving me crazy, so before i go back on the Zoloft, could someone Please help. Thanks.

I'm still able to make a Bluetooth->GPRS connection under 10.3 using the same setup as I had under 10.2.

I have a separate location called GPRS that only has the Bluetooth modem in it and am connecting from my 17" PB with build in Bluetooth via my P800.

Ok. Are you using your P800 as a modem or are you connecting through your service providers network using GPRS? In other words, I want to connect through AT&T's GPRS network using my T68i>bluetooth>powerbook. Did that make any sense? I don't want to use the phone as a "modem" per se. I want to use my phone as a gateway...the same way i used it in 10.2. I used to have internet connect to AT&T's wireless network using my phone...I didn't have to dial any number to an ISP. I just had AT&T in the service provider field and some script. I hope I'm making sense here. Anyone?

I'm new to using a cell phone for the internet, but I got it to work with 10.3 after reading Howard Forums. I connected to the AT&T gprs network by setting up bluetooth with my Sony-Ericsson T616. I don't have the notebook in front of me, but all I needed was the "phone number" (something close to, but not quite #99N#) and putting "proxy" in for the account name. No password.
