I am trying to use my t-mobile cell phone as a modem for my hp ipaq 2795b,
the bluetooth works great, but in order to connect to the internet the ipaq
asks for a username, password and domain name. I contacted t-mobile and they
said to leave the username and password fields blank, but they could not
provide a domain name, only an 'APN.' I tried the APN but it doesn't work.
Neither T-mobile or HP tech support seems to know what to do. Does anyone
know which domain name I can use to connect? Has anyone else run into this
problem?

Leave the domain name blank.

I assume you're dialing *99# for the phone number?

If by "T-Mobile" you mean T-Mobile USA, in the modem extra dial string
command (in the PPC's modem connection setup) try:

AT+cgdcont=1,”IP”,”internet2.voicestream.com”,””,0 ,0 if you're on the
$19.99/month internet plan. Replace "internet2.voicestream.com" with
"wap.voicestream.com" if you're on the $5.99 T-Zones/T-Mo Web plan. The
$5.99 plan also requires that you set the proxy server for your connection
to 216.155.165.50, port 8080.

Thanks a million! The modem extra dial string you provided worked like a
charm! Thanks again!!!!
