Hi,
I followed the FAQ I found here about adding the BB as a modem to my laptop.
When I originally installed the BB software, it already created a modem entry, but I could not connect to anything. I stopped playing with it until I found the FAQ today.
I opened the modem properties and tried to Query the modem but got no response at all.
So I removed the modem and had Windows detect it again - and it didn't find it at all!
I don't know what's up with that.
The BB is brand new, got it a few days ago, did not upgrade the software (yet - I plan to try the new not-quite-official upgrade soon if it's still out there).
I have the Desktop Manager running and connected, and I can backup my data with it. But I can't get it to work as a modem.
Actually, the Verizon sales guy said it wasn't possible at all! Do I need the new software first or should it work with the original software?
Any ideas?
If you need the software versions, please let me know where I can find that info for you so I give you the right one :-)
Thanks!
