How Do I Surf Using Meteor And A Palm E2?

FergalBoards.ie

Hi,

I'm really hoping that someone can help me.

I have a Palm Tungsten E2 and I would like to connect the internet using Meteor's GPRS ISP.

I have checked with Meteor and I am set up for GPRS ISP on my SIM card. Since they did this I have been unable to use the WAP browser on my phone, so that makes sense?

However I don't know what to enter into the settings into the Palm.

I have read Meteor's guide to setting up Windows to use Meteor ISP, but those settings don't seem to work on the Palm, perhaps because it is a different OS?

I am using a Motorola RAZR V3i.

I don't think this topic has been covered before as I have tried a lot of searches, but if it has, even if someone can just point me to the thread, I would be very very grateful.

Thanks.

the only settings on my n70 for the meteor isp are:

connection name:meteor web
data bearer: packet data
access point name (APN): isp.mymeteor.ie
username:my
prompt password:no
password:isp
authentication:normal
homepage:http://wap.mymeteor.ie

network type:ipv4
phone IP address:automatic
name servers:automatic
proxy server address:none
proxy port number:0

no it doesn't make sense that activating the isp APN on the account stopped the wap APN working unless you changed something on the phone. they can bothe be active at the same time

does the palm have any options that aren't covered there or is it missing some that are there?

and is it a palm or a v3i you're using

Hi,

Thanks for replying.

It is a Palm Tungsten E2, I'm not sure how to GPRS surf on the V3i!!!

The Palm asks different questions though...

In the meantime I bought a piece of software called MobileHiSpeed which is supposed to take care of all the settings for you...unfortunately I'm still in trouble.

MoHiSp feel this is because my SIM, a prepay, is not GPRS enabled. Meteor say it is.

I don't know who to believe here, because Meteor were convinced my PDA was a phone and it took a visit to one of their shops to convince them as an organization that it wasn't.

These are the settings that MoHiSp created:
Username: My
Password: Meteor
[If you create the connection manually, it also asks for a phone number here, although this seems blocked out by MoHiSp. The phone number Meteor supplied me with was *99***1#. There is apparently a different phone number to be used with Nokia phones, for some reason according to them.]
Connection Type: PPP
Idle Timeout: Never
Query DNS: [checked]
IP Address: Automatic

[You then, if you are creating the connection manually tap a button marked "script" and this is what MoHiSp put here}
MHS4:
Wait for OK
MHS1:
Wait for OK
MHS2:
MHS3:
MHS5:
MHS6:
Wait for CONNECT
Delay:2
MHS8:
MHS9:
Delay:1
End

I appreciate this is probably some kind of proprietary script and the MHS commands represent commands created by the Mobile Hi Speed program.

However they may ring bells with others, or indeed someone else on the boards may be using the program as well, as it obviously has a lot of Irish users...all Irish networks are covered by the program.

The program created 2 new connection profiles on my phone:
MoHiSp Phone and MoHiSp Data. It uses the latter to connect to the internet.

Using this program, I feel some degree of progress is made, because the "GPRS active" comes up on my phone. However I get an error message:
"Cannot find Requested Page the page you requested cannot be displayed. The web site you are trying to access my be temporarily unavailable or the url you entered cannot be> resolved. Please check that you correctly entered the URL or try again later."


I'm hoping that someone has already done all this, either manually or through Mobile High Speed.

I also went on the Motorola website which contains a page to get a text sent to "enable java applications to use the internet". I got this text and installed it. This created a new connection on the phone Meteor Web.

So now instead of getting Error 412, this page cannot be displayed, like I was since Meteor set up GPRS, I get "Data Server Not Available". Is this progress?

FWIW
I use Meteor Pre-pay (various phones) and iPAQ
Try the following:
Username: my
Password: isp

and *99# as the dial up

In pocket windows there are advanced settings and in there you can add something called the "extra dial-string modem command"
I haven't got my head around how it works ( I fear life is too short for all that ) you can add:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","ISP.MYMETEOR.IE"

and it gets weirder when I use a Sony Ericsson V600I that command is the letter Z by itself
or Z+CGDCONT=1,"IP","ISP.MYMETEOR.IE"

I've ended up with lots of different settings to use, depending on network and handset I'm using at that time.

Some help I hope.
