from my phone to my laptop. Sprint was no help whats so ever, even after i got "pam", the laptop won't recognizes my blackberry 8330 curve phone, i can't get connected to net on my laptop. I've tried everything from blackberry.com to sprint.com everything. i didn't have this many problems getting the net on laptop from my moto q9c.

its called Tethering.
use the search function and check out the BlackberryFAQ

nope nothing!

That's odd because I just searched for tethering and found 15 threads about it. The BlackBerryFAQ link is in my sig and at the top of this page.

i keep on getting nothing.. :(

You broke the internet!!! I'm telling Al Gore on you!

ok, i can't get the it, can anybody tell me what to do to make the internet to work on my laptop from my blackberry?

Have you tried this?: bluetooth pan? - SprintUsers.com

nope how do you use it?

Go to the web site link Rambo found for you.
Click on it.
Read the thread.

1 message and that person is asking for help too...

Did you try these steps:

Installed BB desktop manager
paired phone and computer via Bluetooth
Go to control panel (on your PC/laptop) -> internet options, add connection, select modem, select bluetooth, enter #777 for the phone number and the username/password you use to login to your Sprint account on their webpage.
Hit connect and you are good to go.

You don't seem to be giving much information here. People are trying to help and you give one line responses.

So, let's try to get some more information:

Do you have BlackBerry Desktop manager installed? What version.
What version of the handheld OS is installed on your BlackBerry (Options / About will tell you).
When you connect your BB to your PC, does desktop manager recognize it?

I'm trying to tell you that i went to those websites with the same directions nothing works

You did not answer any of the questions I asked.
In fact, all you've said is "it doesn't work" with NO DETAILS.

What isn't working (and saying "I can't get to the Internet" will not get answers).

Please answer the questions. Please. There are only three of them. Let's start there.

i don't know why..

Good luck to you.
PEBKAB

thanks

yes i did, 4.5
v4.5.0.131 platform 3.4.0.25
nope it don't at all.

Did you scroll down the page at all? There are 6 or 7 replies there.
We cannot help you if you don't try to help yourself.

No one can do this for you -- it's up to you to read and follow instructions.

How are you connecting your BlackBerry to your laptop?

Any issues getting internet on BlackBerry's built in browser?

i didn't see any others. i am trying.

usb, no not really.

Go back to that page. Scroll down the page and see the replies. They ARE there.

well i've tried all that already. nothing working at all.

Ok, last attempt to help you...

Please post *exactly* what you have tried, each step in detail.
Post any error message or what happened when you did each step.

I think you might need to find a friend or someone with a BlackBerry who can help you with this in person.

Since nothing is working at all (yet another one line post), another question which may get answered.

Are you within Sprint's warranty period to return the device?

yes. i don't what else to tell you!

* go to Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, Phone and Modem Options. Under the Modems tab, click on Standard Modem. Click Properties. Click Advanced. Make sure nothing is entered in the "extra initialization commands."

* on the berry, go to Options, Advanced, TCP and enter "wap.internet.com" after APN:

* go to Control Panel, Network Connections, Create a new connection, then hit Next

*Select Connect to Internet

* Select Set up connection manually

*Select Connect using a dial-up modem. Check the box next to the modem you created above and then click Next.


* Enter Sprint as the ISP name

* Enter *99# as the Phone Number and then click Next

* Keep User Name and Password blank. Clear all the other check boxes.

* To create the connection, click Finish.

* right click on the dial-up connection under Network Connections, then click Properties. Below the PPP window click Settings and uncheck all boxes except "enable LCP Extensions."


* make sure the blackberry is connected to Desktop Manager on the laptop.

* Under Network Connections, right-click on the Dial-up connection for sprint that we just created. Click Connect. Click Dial.


AND.....


to Start > Settings > Network Connection > New Connection Wizard

· Welcome screen click “Next”

· Network Connection Type screen select “Connect to the Internet” and click “Next”

· Getting Ready screen select “Set up my connection manually” and click “Next”

· Internet Connection screen select “Connect using dial-up modem” and click “Next”

· Select a Device screen select “Modem – Standard Modem (COMx)” and deselect all other options, then click “Next”

· Connection Name screen type in a description name for your new connection (example: Blackberry DUN) then click “Next”

· Phone Number to Dial screen enter “#777” and click “Next”

· Connection Availability screen select “Anyone’s use” radio button and click “Next”

· Internet Account Information screen leave the defaults (User name, Password, Confirm password fields should be blank and the box two check boxes should be checked) and then click “Next”

· Completing the New Connection Wizard screen check the box to have shortcut to your new connection added to your desktop. This step is optional but very useful when using you Blackberry to dial the Vision network. Then click “Finish”.



Your new connection window will be displayed or you can access it via the icon on your desktop if you selected to option to create a shortcut, otherwise it will be listed under Start > Settings > Network Connections > Connection Name (reflects the name you entered on the Connection Name step above).



Important step: Open the Black Berry Desktop Manager. This must be open…just minimize it to get it off the desktop if you prefer.



· Then click the “Dial” button on your new connection and it will connect to Vision.

You said you were NOT getting internet on your BlackBerry itself. Do you have a BlackBerry data plan? Not some generic data plan, but a legit BlackBerry one?

Nothing works.

yes i am, i didn't say that, yes i have the blackberry plan $30 a month.

nothing...

Return it as quickly as possible.

i just might, i never had this problem with my moto q9c phone.

Then go back to what works for you.

Nothing works, except the phone, e-mail, BlackBerry Messenger and internet on the BlackBerry. Right.

Your BB is not connecting to your PC. That's why "nothing works". You need to get that resolved. Find someone to help you with your PC.

You answers have irritated people here - so much that one Moderator said this was the last thread they were going to help you.

All you say is "Nothing works" without ANY DETAILS.

i came here for help as a last resorted, and all i got was nothing but patronizes...

i gave you details. I've had online chats with blackberry.com, sprint.com nothing is working.

I'm not a troll!

It's like pulling teeth getting ANY details from you. This is a two way street. You aren't providing any details. Everyone here is a volunteer trying to help people out. But you have to help also.

Since no one can help you, it appears that you should return the BlackBerry.

Perhaps you should check other online BlackBerry forums, as you are being patronized here. People have been trying for hours to help you. Not patronizing, helping. But all you post is "Nothing works".

I'm done.

Marquita, please, you've had some of the most knowledgeable BlackBerry users in the world assisting you here.

THEY cannot help you without details.

All you've done is post one line, 5-8 word replies and then you copy/pasted the directions they've already give you.

NO ONE has patronized you, they have bent over backwards to assist you. Please be thankful.

SO, let's get back to YOUR posting EXACTLY what part of the instructions you need help with now, and do not say "nothing works".

what other details can i give you, it's just not working, not connecting at all, device not being recognized with sprint smartview software or PC. me too!

Disconnect your BlackBerry from your PC

Uninstall Desktop Manager on your PC
Download the latest version of Desktop Manager from Smartphones, Cell Phones & Smart Phones at BlackBerry.com
Install the latest version of Desktop Manager to your PC

Reboot if necessary.

Connect your BlackBerry. When you open Desktop Manager, does it see your BlackBerry?
