hi, Opera Browser works with an Internet (ISP) access point, the internal Services uses WAP...

sorry i'm a bit lost with the info you've provided so some backround on your set-up like post-pay/prepay and exactally which operator O2/Meteor you want to use it with would be great - then we can see if you can be set-up

Its a Nokia 6600. I was trying to set it up for O2 like in that thread. Its a contract sim. I also use a meteor sim but im not using that one for internet as its Pre-pay and they dont offer the service for pre-pay as far as i know.

So right now i have it set up exactly as it is in that thread.

So is setting up an ISP AP completely different to WAP? I think thats what i need to set up then.

create a new connection in access points, call it o2 internet or something.

Data Bearer : GPRS
Access Point name: Internet
Username: None
Password None
Prompt for Password : No
Authentication: Normal
Homepage: http://www.o2.ie

-->Advanced
Phone Ip Address: Automatic
Primary name server: 0.0.0.0
Second name server: 0.0.0.0
Proxy Serv. Address: None

Connect using Opera, select o2 internet as your connection, should work for opera.

No good taz

The error i get in opera is: http://www.o2.ie/ - could not connect to remote server

However in connection manager i am connected but no up or down KB transferred.

I'm on o2 contract and that works perfectly for me, but not for emails or instant messaging which is highly frustrating. Are you sure you're enabled properly for grps with o2?

O2 set me up on two ISP access points for post-pay internet and open.internet so may be worth tyring the other and seeing what happens....

they did require you to enter this DNS addresses (although as people re-post the settings they are leaving them out so maybe the server is finally assigning) - worth a shot adding them manually instead:
62.40.32.33
62.40.32.34

shouldn't be necessary to enter a homepage into this (ISP) configuration - it is of more relevance to the WAP (Services) Browser and MMS settings

Even using open.internet and the dns servers I still can't send emails

OKAY, I got my email working.

Instant messenger still a no no though

flywheel

what IM client are you using?

and can I ask what you did to fix it the email (will help others who may have the same problem in the future and do a search for a solution )...

Turned security off in the mail settings and/or changing the access point to open.internet and using the dns servers. Mail wouldnt send until I checked my email which is why I didn't initially notice that it had fixed the problem.

I'm using IM+ as my instant messenger.

the internet access point should work grand for most types of connection web, email and IM (at least it does for me) - the open one just allows incoming connections the user doesn't initiate (according to their support team)...

when sending a mail it goes to the Outbox, so you should be able to open the Outbox and select a mail to send it immediately - one thing to note if you have multiple accounts set-up you just need to be aware of which one is currently the 'default' mail account

personally find an app like Active Mail great for email management and handling...

have been using IM+ grand (with MSN) on a different Series 60 handset with O2 post-pay... does it give any (helpful) error messages?

I'm at work, so now that I have my email working I emailed myself agile messenger, which is now away and running perfectly on the access point I set up for opera + email, perhaps the login procedure for IM+ has changed since the version I'm using was released. So I guess I'm somewhat of a happy camper now
