GPRS on Nokia 6310 to Clie NR70V via IR
paul
Can anyone provide or point me at a step-by-step guide to setting up an
internet connection on my Clie which will use the GPRS connection on my
6310? I have successfully connected (via Orange and Demon) using regular
GSM. I have also connected a Win2k notebook to the internet via IR PC->phone
and GPRS phone->internet. I know that the various bits of technology
individually work I just can't get them to work together.
I have so far tried:
* the Nokia site and downloaded the user guides. There isn't one
specifically for GPRS to PDAs but they are all too Mickey Mouse in any case
for problem solving. Nokia seems to think that everything works without a
hitch so doesn't bother to provide help with the hitches.
* Palm's site was better (the Clie runs Palm OS 4.0 in case you didn't
know) and offered two different ways of configuring the connection (one with
scripting and one without). Unfortunately neither got any life out of the
phone which just sat their showing that IR comms had been established but
nowt else.
* Orange's site which was just useless. It is ironic that Orange are
increasingly pointing users to their website for information and then they
don't provide any.
I am in training for the terrible day I have to phone (at 50p /min) Orange's
technical helpline! This is a last ditch attempt to avoid that. Any help
would be appreciated.

I don't use Orange, I don't have a Clie or anything that runs Palm OS
(my PDA is an iPAQ 3970 - a Pocket PC 2002 machine) and my GPRS phone is
a 6310i.
All that having been said, all you should need to get this going is to
send the setup string
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","orangeinternet"
and dial
*99***1#
No scripting is necessary - indeed, I can't see GPRS working with
scripting.
I'm not sure if any user ID or password is required for Orange GPRS.

Create a connection on the Clie with the dial up number *99#, dialled via
the IR port as normal. Leave the username and password blank. On your 6310i
go to settings>GPRS modem settings>edit active settings and make yourself
an access point called Orange with the APN 'orangeinternet'
This is all that is required, but I have never used a Clie. Best of luck.
You must also be subscribed to a GPRS bundle, by the way.

I have this exact setup configured and working (although with a
Swedish ISP, Swipnet). If you haven't solved it yet, post a
followup to this post and I'll try to help you.

none). I have got it to work though I was forced, in the end, to ring Orange
Wirefree support. They were very helpful - I am reluctantly forced to admit
;-}
This is the set up which works.
On the phone - simply set accesspoint 1 to 'orangeinternet' (no quotes)
On the PalmOS device:
In Preferences>Network create a new Service (by typing a new name in the
Services field;
Insert any character in the UserName and Password fields (I used 'a')
Select Connection type as IR to a PC/Handheld (this was the crucial bit - I
had been selecting an IR to Phone connections which is wrong);
Select the Details button;
Set Connection type to PPP;
Set Idle timeout to whatever you want (I've put Never);
Select Query DNS
Select IP Address Automatic
Under Script, build the following script:
Send adt*99#
Send CR
Wait for CONNECT
End
OK all that - and select Connect from the Network>Preferences screen using
the Service you just created. It worked for me.
One last wrinkle - if you are using email software like Multimail (and not
just syncing with a PC), you will need to set your SMTP host to
smtp.orange.net even though you are using your mailbox with your current
ISP. So, in my case, I keep the pop3 server as pop3.demon.co.uk
I think this is because your traffic is actually being carried over
orange.net so the smtp server on demon would not authenticate you as a user
on the demon network.
Now all I need is a reasonable web browser for the Clie. Any suggestions?

There's a typo here - the rest sounds reasonable
This should be:
Send ATD*99#
>Send CR

Having followed your instructions as written, and still not got anywhere, I
decided to phone Orange myself. They talked me through it the same way
you've described it here, and when that didn't work, they gave me a new
script:
Send d2&e0
Send CR
Send atv1w1s95=47
Send CR
Send at&k3
Send CR
Send at+cgdcont=1,"IP","orangeinternet"
Send CR
Send atdt*99#
End
This worked for me, and none of the instructions I've found so far have
done.
I'm on orange, with an 8310, and an m500 running OS4.
Hope this maybe of use to somebody. My thanks to Paul (the original poster)
for posting what he found out.
Cheers,
Graeme
