    I have a Nokia 2720 Fold Cellphone on the 7-11 Speakout System which uses the Roger's Network in our area, and I have an unlimited internet browsing plan.

    I installed the Nokia PC Suite on a laptop and tethered the cellphone to it via Bluetooth, and then connected to the internet without any problem.

    The connection indicates:

    Connection established using:
    Nokia 2720 Bluetooth Modem.
    Rogers Canada.
    Connected.

    Unfortunately, I seem to be unable to connect to any website.

    Could anyone tell me what I have forgotten to do?

    Many Thanks.

    Goto command prompt in your computer & type ipconfig /all > ip.txt. Upload ip.txt here.

    Something has happened. There would be a new file ip.txt in "C:\Documents and Settings\user name ", where user name is your login user name. Just upload this file over here.

    You could try this to make the text file on your Desktop:

    ipconfig /all > %UserProfile%\Desktop\ip.txt

    I have been away for a while and thank you to all for the replies but I have given up on this.

    Maybe someone could tell me how to finalize this thread without indicating that it has been resolved.

    Many Thanks.
