TG50 dial-up networking problems (replacement PPP dialer?)

[scotte]

During a trial with using T-Mobile, I established a successful bluetooth PPP connection from my TG50 to the T-Mobile phone and successfuly surfed.

I opted to continue my contract with Verizon Wireless. Whenever I perform a bluetooth PPP connection with my new Verizon Wireless phone, my username and password are exchanged fine, but the TG50 never seems to get an IP address. I found a shareware program called CheckWWW to perform a traceroute, and it cannot get past the PDA.

I've tried to ssh into my own PC at home, and my logs do not show any incoming attempts on port 22.

So, is there an alternate PPP dialer for Palm 5? Is there a free/trial program to at least show if the TG50 is getting an IP?

I know the ISP connection does work because I set up a successful dialup network connection from my home PC via the cell phone (granted it was cabled), disabling the cable modem connection to ensure I was going through the phone, and surfed fine.

I should try via a bluetooth connection with the PC next to see what happens that way...

I also tried a terminal program from the PC to the phone and manually diialed in, noted the prompts the ISP provided, and scripted the prompts on the PDA. Still no luck Sad

Thanks for any insight for a possible DUN altnerative for the PDA or whatever else might work.

Whoa, big fella. . .!

I'm still trying to process the first paragraph of abbreviations, but one piece of software you might try is called Mobile High Speed. It handles the network setup for you without having to fish around for the initialization strings or any other settings--it does it all for you automatically. I've been using this successfully for 6 months or so on Cingular WAP with my TH55/E1.

You might give it a trial run, I think the demo version will let you connect up to 5 times. I don't know if that's necessarily the problem you were having, but it should streamline your phone connection for you. Good luck!
