No, I'm afraid I didn't know that already. What is an APN and where do you put it? I can't find any such terminology in any of the various settings windows on my laptop.

I had to go to the "Standard Modem over Bluetooth link" modem in Control Panel->Phone and Modem Options.

Under the Advanced tab, I added:AT+CGDCONT=1, "ip", "proxy"
Thank you, that seems to work here as well. I apparently have a different Bluetooth device in my laptop than you do (WIDCOMM), so my bluetooth modem has a different name, but that same string made it work. Can you tell me what it's doing? It's been a LONG time since I've tried to analyze any "AT" style dialing string <g>.

Oh, and one more question: What does that dialing string do that is different from my *99# string?

But this note is coming to you from Mozilla on my laptob via Bluetooth/DUN on my Treo650. So clearly something is working. Thanks again!
