    HELP!
    I have a v60t phone. I have the data cable, and the USB drivers for the it. When I try to connect to the internet, the computer tries to call out through the phone. I can see it on the phone, however, it only tries for a second, then it hangs up (or gives up). I am using Windows XP pro. Is there a setting on the computer that I am supposed to set to say that it is a cell phone? When I query the modem through the computer, it finds the phone and it looks like everything is alright. Or is there a setting on the phone that I need to change? Do I need to put the phone in "Data In" mode or should I leave it the settings alone?
    Please help. Do I need the TrueSync software? (Because I don't have the CD). I did download the TrueSync 3.1 upgrade & the older TrueSync, but I really don't think it is what I need. Is it? Has anyone had any luck with any Motorola cell phone? Help, please!

    What are you time out settings set to on your computer? Under dialing properties.

    (I'm at work right now) If I remember correctly, I turned off the wait for dial tone, it re-tries to dial after 5 seconds, ummm, and I don't remember the other settings..

    I think the problem is that the computer doesn't realize that it is trying to connect through a cell phone. It doesn't realize that it has to wait for the phone to connect. I don't even know if it is pressing "Send" or not, or if it even has to.

    I've never tried this, but I know previous versions of windows had a setting to not wait for a dial tone. You would probably have to do this for a cell phone. It's in the properties for the modem.

    I tried that. It seems to me that because it doesn't connect right away, like a regular phone would, then it gives up. The computer doesn't give the phone time to connect.

    I'm having the exact same problem trying to use my T720 as a modem. Modem diagnostics says everything is fine. I've tried everything I know. I've read about other people doing it, so I know its possible. Has to be something simple we're overlooking.[​IMG]
