5.0.1 IP Modem (Fixed)

[fjleon]

i had this working with my at&t branded 9700 unlocked under movilnet (a venezuelan operator) but now the icon doesn't appear again i havent installed another OS or anything.

[Schmiesus]

So i've been doing some testing on this....i seems to me its OS depend meaning if you're running the OS from another carrier thats the carrier you have to setup...

How do i know this?
I have an Unlocked from at&t on the telus network.

did everything posted above and no go......I downgraded my OS from the Zain Jordan OS posted up to a TELUS OS and IP Modem showed up right away.

So because i can't find Zain Jordan as a listed carrier anywhere on the IP modem but can find it under the Vendor ID file that we all delete to get the OS to load. I'm now assuming that this IP modem file is searching for the Carrier that OS is from.

this i what i have come up with so far.

Big thank you to Tennispro4ever and others - I hunted all day for various tethering solutions and finally this one nailed it. I am using Blackberry Desktop Manager 5.0.1, made the edit (in XP) to make AT&T "TRUE" in the ip_modem_configuration.xml file (I used Open With ... used XML editor), and this resulted in being able to see IP Modem in BDM. I configured and connected.

Unfortunately I suffered the same errors as mentioned by others. I repowered everything (Bold, PC) and then noted suggestion to create custom profile and make access point entry change to WAP.CINGULAR. Next step was to initiate connection and now it works great. Speed is very good. Phone indicates Modem Mode Enabled. This will definitely make the time more productive during numerous trips to the hockey rinks for the kids. Thanks again.

I have BBDM 5.0.1.28 loaded; Win XP SP3; went to -

c:/Documents and Settings\all users\application data\research in motion\blackberry\IP_modem_configuration.xml

- Opened it in Wordpad; changed the "verizon wireless" "false" to "true" and saved...

No change - still no IP Modem icon/option...

That was the only "verizon" entry in the whole document...

I am on Verizon and when I try to go to the internet I get the 'subscribe to Mobile Broadband Connect' web page and cannot get to anything else.

Have a verizon phone but using another carrier (am in indo & using indosat).

After changing the false to true, I got the icon back. Configured it but when trying to connect it says modem not responding.

With 8900 I had no problems. But when using the storm the ip modem icon dissapeared but now after it showing up, is still not connecting.

Any help ??!!

just a quick question..is it normal that once you're connected using the ip modem, you cant get any pushed emails and bbm working?

So I was playing around with this on Windows 7 and edited C:\ProgramData\Research In Motion\Blackberry\ip_modem_configuration.xml to how the instructions say to. It worked on the first try but the IP Modem icon disappeared when I re-launched my Desktop Manager. I was confused.

Then I stumbled upon a second ip_modem_configuration.xml file. It's location is at:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry

Edited that file and now the IP Modem icon is there for good. Hope that helps people! Btw, I'm on AT&T.

Hey guys and gals, I had no problem getting the button to return but I am unsure if there is any way to set up a connection profile for use on the Alltel network? I know there aren't many of us left after the Verizon buy out but if anyone has any information as to whether / how it can be done, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: I just created a new custom profile and left everything blank....connected just fine. Now my question is whether this is going to rack up a giant bill without the tether package or any special routing. I loaded up a few pages and disconnected to be on the safe side...

After many tries I can not get the IP Modem icon to appear at all on my Win 7 laptop using either the latest DM from RIM or Verizon. The IP Modem icon never appears after after a fresh install of the DM. I've tried editing the config file many different ways. With RIM DM it's already set to true, with the Verizon DM it starts as false.

I have an older version 5.0.1.18 on my Vista desktop that works. I get the icon and I can connect without any problems. I tried load 5.0.1.18 on my Win7 laptop and I can see the Icon but the app crashes before it finishes loading....

Any idea's?

Any updates to this?

I have DM 5.0.1.37 and an unlocked ATT 9700 running the latest .743 phone OS.

I can't remember when DM stopped showing the icon- it used to work with my 8900 about 4-5 months back- but was first 'disabled' towards the end of my use of the 8900, and disabled when i had a temporary 8100.

Now, with a new phone, new DM and phones OS, the ip_modem_config xml file does not exist in the folder path mentioned- however, there are these files:

configurationupgrade.xml
device_tblinfo_1033.xml

and separately, there is a "BlackberryModemConfiguration.exe" icon that doesn't seem to work when double clicked (a window flashes open-close).

Anything the CB gurus can add to this?

Guys,

I also lost IP modem, and set to YES (have all carriers strangely set to yes). My setup is confusing as I have both manager 5.1 and 6 and cant uninstall v6.

Anyways a tip for those that cant make IP modem appear.
