Ok i was messing with a guys nokia phone on the at&t gsm service and I could not get my PDA to browse the web on it.

my questions:

1. How do I get my NX to connect in netfront or Web Pro to the IR port on the phone.

(I couldnt find the setting for IR, i just found the CF card and all these other settings.)

It kept wanting to use my CF card drivers and I didnt have it in so I kept getting an error and I just wanted to use the stupid IR port but couldnt find the setting...

Please help me out guys

i have use the IR for internet.
ok this is how, you need to go to prefs, and select the network setup. once you are there, in the connection, tap on it and choose edit the connection. create a new connection, then choose connect to: modem,
via: infra red,
dialling: touchtone
then tap ok, it should go back to the network page, type the phone number for the internet dial up, and make sure on the connection: it display the connection setting you just created.
then try it through web pro or netfront. your IR on the phone should also be ready.
i found the netfront is a bit frustrated to use. try the web pro, and could u please let me know, cause i've used IR for internet for sometime now, but now i cant use it anymore, i dont know why.

Just a heads up, but you cant set up a dial up service with att, they dont suport it, you have to set up a gprs conection with it, i would tell you how but i havent gotten my sony yet, it was easy enough to do with my pocketpc but i guess we will see, does anyone know how to do gprs on the sony?
