Dial Up Networking on a PPC

This section relates to the Razr Phones provided by Verizon Wireless only.

If you have a Palm Pilot, Dell Axim, etc. that you want free internet on, the solution is finally here. Thanks to Trimax84 you can now have DUN on your handheld device! (Other than your RAZR)

But what does it cost?! Nothing but minutes my friend... nothing but minutes. So yes that does mean that if its after 9 or its a saturday (free nights and weekends) then technically, its 100% free weeee! Now tell me how much you love your Razr :)

How the hell? This procedure is called tethering. With Verizon's broadband service you are able to tether using EVDO, which is significantly faster then 1x. However, the Razr is not allowed/capable of tethering via EVDO and instead only works with 1x. Actually using the v3c / v3m for internet is not even a normally possible function with these Razr's however it leaves you to wonder, why would you want to disable such a killer feature? It seems to me like its just another Razr selling point, but who cares -- on to the guide.

Go razr internet, go razr internet, go!

1. Make sure that EVDO is disabled! ^(GUIDE)

2. Perform a seem edit that "Enables 1xRTT Settings and Service Type (QNC, Packet, Auto) - on"

awuhzuh?! Guide on how to perform a seem edit A list of other seem edits

3. Another Seem Edit is required which enables access to the nvm_factory file (necessary for next step)

4.Download QPST here Then do this: It takes 15-20 mins or so.

5. Pair the phone with the PDA.

6. Make the settings look just like the ones in this guide

Phone Number (to dial): #777

Username: #MyNumber#@vzw3g.com

Password: vzw

I don't have the advanced options with unencrypted passwords (PAP) and all that, but by using QPST the need for these was circumvented.

7. Now make sure the phone is set to use the connection that you just set up! (Seems simple, right?)
I was stuck here for the longest time. My phone would go from "Packet Data" to DORMANT and sit there, so I knew it was connected but no data was being transferred.

Navigate to Settings --> Connections --> Advanced --> Select Networks (that is for WM5 on my Axim, yours could be different).
Make sure "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" is set to the proper connection.

My said ISP but I had to change it to "My Work Network" (default name given to the bluetooth connection).

This may mess things up when trying to connect using WLAN, but just change this back and it should be fine.

NOTES



So there it is. Free (meaning free nights and weekends since minutes are charged) internet on my Dell Axim x51v from anywhere where I have Verizon service! I hope it was easy enough to follow. Hopefully it spares other people everything I had to deal with.
