Has anyone in Ireland succesfully tethered their BB to a laptop on the O2 network in Ireland?

I have an unlimited data plan so unless O2 deliberatley stop this I presume it can be done?

Thanks!

Simply do the following:
(1) Plug in you blackberry
(2) Run Desktop Manager **Needs to be running in order to use your blackberry as a modem**
(3) Start-->ControlPanel-->PhoneAndModemOptions-->Click the 'Modems' tab.
(4) Look for a modem called 'Standard Modem'. Click 'Properties'-->Click the 'Diagnostics' tab--> Click 'Query Modem'. The response should reference your blackberry device.

**So now you know your blackberry is being detected as a modem, Now lets configure it**
(5) Click the 'Advanced' tab and where it says 'Extra Initialization commands' enter the following exactly: +CGDCONT=1,"IP","wap.dol.ie"
(6) Click 'Ok' twice to save the settings and close out of 'PhoneAndModemOptions'
(7) Go to Start-->ControlPanel-->NetworkConnections-->'File'-->'NewConnection'
(8) Click 'Next'-->Select 'ConnectToTheInternet'-->Select 'SetUpMyConnectionManually-->Select 'ConnectUsingADialUpModem'-->If Prompted Select 'StandardModem' (uncheck any other modems)-->Give the connection a name-->Type *99# as the 'Phone Number'-->Username is gprs Password is gprs-->Uncheck the 2 checkboxes displayed-->Click 'Finish'
(9) Go to Start-->ControlPanel-->NetworkConnections-->Right Click on the connection you created-->Select 'Properties'-->Select the 'Networking' tab-->Select 'InternetProtocol(TCP/IP)-->Click 'Properties'-->Click 'Advanced'-->Uncheck 'UseIPHeaderCompression'-->Click 'Ok' 3 times to save the settings and close out

**Your connection is now setup** :-)

Test it by going to Start-->ConnectTo-->Select the connection that you created-->Click 'Dial'
When it has connected you will see the active connection in the taskbar. You will also see the text 'Modem Mode Enabled' on your blackberry screen

**Remember you need to be running 'Desktop Manager' in order to use ypur blackberry as a modem**

Enjoy :-)
