K610i as a modem (Smart)

[ruben]

I got my SE K610i yesterday, and I'm gonna use it as a modem on my PC. I have installed the USB driver and now it's recognized as a modem. Now, how do I set it up in the new connection wizard? I am a Smart subscriber and have installed the settings sent by the network. I have gotten the unit to work on 3G.

If it's already detected as a modem... just choose that when making a new connection at the new connection wizard. Choose "set up manually" in the connection wizard.


cheers!

Thanks a lot. This is the setup guide that I am looking for. Some settings though is not applicable. I hope someone from Smart Philippines could provide such guide.

Help me configure my 3G internet access (SMART)

I am using K610i

I've already downloaded the Sony Ericsson PC Suite, and all the drivers are already installed so my phone will be recognized as a modem and an USB ethernet device.

My problem is that whenever I try to click on "Connect" button on the Mobile Networking Wizard, the message

"734 - PPP Link Control Protocol Was Terminated" keeps on appearing.

I am able to get into the state that says "Authenticating"

I've done my research and looks like this is related to the logon username and password setting.

Correct me if I am wrong, if you use SMART 3G, you don't have to have a logon username and password inputted in your pc suite to connect to the net?

Also, there's always a logon password automatically assigned to the Connection of my 3G enabled phone modem. Even if I remove it, it still there.
