Ok here goes.
If this has been answered before please accept my appologies thanks...

I have a storm unlocked to AT&T. Everything works great. All service books are loaded correctly and APN Settings are Correct. I am running Windows XP on a Samsung NC10 Netbook. I have followed the settings for this instruction and I have. (please note that I also have 8310 unlocked to AT&T and I have no problems connecting) so I am not sure what is going on. Also I am running Blackberry desktop manager 4.7 english w/media

Here are the instructions:
Using Blackberry as a modem

Verify that you have the Desktop Manager version 4.2 or greater and the software bundle that came with the handheld installed on your computer.

Query the modem, using the modems properties: (This works and I get the correct results)

17 Select the appropriate option. (All users Selected)
18 Confirm that the BlackBerry Desktop Manager is running. (For Tethered it is but for BT it is not needed)
*IMPORTANT: BlackBerry Desktop Manager must be running, or error 692 will appear during the dial up attempt. (i have 1 connection set for the standard modem, usb cable, & 1 connection set for the standard modem over bluetooth and have no problems getting a connection or connecting to desktop manager with the 8310 curve tethered )
19 Open the web browser and navigate to any website to test the connection.

If the laptop/PC connects but Internet Explorer does not, follow these steps: (NOT USED FOR ATT)

1 From Internet Explorer, click Tools, then Internet Options....
2 Click the Connections tab.
3 From Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings, select T-Mobile.
4 Click Set Default.
5 Select Dial whenever a network connection is not present.
6 Click OK.
7 Click OK again.

I keep getting the 692 Error "there wasa hardware failure in the modem (or other connecting device) and I cant figure what is wrong. Am I missing a certain driver that is not part of the desktop manager 4.7 file?

Any suggestions. I am kinda new to this but have enough knowledge to be dangerouse haha. Please not that all my settings are in RED in the instructions for refference. Thanks for any help I can get. I just dont wat to carry 2 phones and swap sim cards every time I travel. I would love it all to run on the Storm on AT&T.

I am having issues tethering also. but I am on T-mobile. the error i get is 678. Using pdanet works fine, but i dont wanna pay for something i *should* be able to set up myself. -.-;
Anyhow, pdanet installs an app to the phone and an app to the pc, which leads me to think that there may be some tweaking needed on the phone itself that we are not aware of.

If i find a solution i will report back.

cheers!

Same problem on my T-Mobile Storm, works perfectly with my old 8120 though. Argh. Frustrating.

Dang, been browsing the forums and google, and it seems like no section has solved this situation for an unlocked Storm on T-mobile

[outkast_21]

That's Verizon way of getting yall back for unlocking the phone.

[misskimsilva]
