    Easy enough: pair the n80 with MacBook and go through all the rigmarole ticking 'use as high-speed modem' or somesuch. When this is completed 'network' should have set it to dial *99#. All you have to do then on the phone is make sure you have entered the APN '3ireland.ie' in the relevant connection settings.

    Back in network, do the following:go into PPP options and make sure that PPP Echo Packets is NOT ticked (setup will have ticked it). That should sort you.

    You will find that sometimes it will work, other times not. To 'wake' it up I sometimes untick 'wait for dial tone' then set it again. Also turning bluetooth on and off and on again on the handset can help if the connection gets confused.

    Any problems, PM me.
