Bluetooth Modem Problems - help please!

| Hi,
I'm trying to connect my laptop to the internet via bluetooth using a
Sony Ericsson M600i on Vodafone UK 3G. There is a 'conection wizard' as
part of the phone's bundled software, but while it lets me link up with
the phone using a USB cable with no problems, I can't seem to repeat
the process using my bluetooth dongle.
I can 'pair' the phone and the laptop, and can get the laptop to
recognise the phone's modem. However, when I try to establish a
connection to the network using either the wizard or the m-router
software, I keep getting an error message 680, which seems to mean that
there's no dial tone.
I'm puzzled why it should be trying to get a dial tone for a connection
that isn't dial up. I've also RTFM, as they say, to no avail. Can
anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong, here, or how I can maybe
hook up without using the wizard?
Thanks very much,
Richard

Depending on your bluetooth software: perform a service discovery and
when it discovers dial-up networking give it a double-click. This will
launch the usual windows dial-up box where you enter *99# as your dial
up number, username and password blank.
See what happens with that.

| I had exactly this problem; laptop + USB cable + Nokia + Vodafone connected
to the internet whereas same config using an otherwise working bluetooth
configuration did not.
Finally gave up on creating a generic dialup connection and used Vodafone
ConnectMe proprietary software, which worked fine. It's a free download from
online.vodafone.co.uk but I couldn't figure out how to post an exact link to
it on their weird website.
