Is it at all possible at the +99# internet access has been disabled?
Just wondering if anyone had any luck with this yet? I've paired it up with my TyTN, and thus far I can get hands free calling, but that's all.
I can't work out for the life of me how to get the data connection working again.
it will not work as wm6 uses PAN and not DUN, tomtom need to release an update for PAN support but not sure if they will

I have Skype runing fine on my PDA2K using WIFI however it doesn't seem to work at all well when I have only a GPRS connection.
I have a Vodafone SE V800 3G/UTMS phone and had 3G data working with an IPAQ 5550 although didn't get a chance to try it with Skype before getting my PDA2K.
Unfortunately the dialup networking client option that was in the bluetooth manager on the IPAQ appears to be missing on the PDA2K. Somebody has done this before on a XDA II see http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58&PN=1
however it looks like it is with an old version of the MS BT stack which I cannot load on to my device.
ROM ver: 1.22.00 WWE
ROM date: 10/22/04
Radio Ver: 1.06.00
Protocol ver: 1337.38
ExtROM: 1.22.162 WWE
Using broadcom BT-PPC/PE version 1.0.0 Build 3500
Any ideas.

Which GPRS service offering are you using? If you are using the bulk MediaNet from Cingular then I suspect if won't work. That GPRS connection is designed to support WAP and email only, so it only allows the use of certain ports. I don't know which ports SKYPE uses, but I don't think it's limited to Port 80.
It is Vodafone UK's mobile connect 3G/GPRS solution which on 3g is up to 384kbps download and it hands over to GPRS when outside of 3G coverage. I doesn't appear to be limited to specific ports as it works with HTTP, VPN, POP3, IMAP. There is an option to use Port 80 on the PC Skype app but I can't see that option on the pocket PC. At the moment I can't get even get my PDA2K to connect to my phone other than through a serial port. I will test Skype with a PC connected to my 3G phone to see if the data side works however it would be great for other apps if I could use the speedier 3G data connection through my PDA2K

The PDA2K is a 2.5G device - so 3G will not be possible through it.
Are you able to connect to other non-web services via your GPRS connection such as email or msn or the likes? I know with O2 you have an O2 Active connection for web/wap and Mobile Internet for everything else.
You could try to get a freeware telnet client and telnet to the skype server on port 80 to see if it can resolve and reach it - this is one way to prove if your connection will allow it.
Both O2 2.5G (PDA2k) and my Vodafone 3G connections (v800) work no problem. I have a connection from my PDA2K to my 3G phone using the 3G modem in the V800 phone across the infrared connection and Skype connects and works. I however want to use Bluetooth rather than infrared as I have to hold my v800 phone right opposite the infrared port on my PDA2K for it all to work. I can't however find a way to create a bluetooth dial up networking connection to my V800 on the PDA2K. On my IPAQ 5550 I had a Bluetooth dial-up connection to the same phone and it worked fine on 3G. :roll:
they troubleshooted that problem at some time (Bt dial up) of our BT

GPRS is not fast enough for making a skype call. It would also cost you a *fortune* in GPRS useage charges!!
3G is find in the down direction, but for VoIP, upstream is just as important. Anyone know what Voda 3G does upstream?

I was talking on skype over GPRS yesterday. Worked flawlessly. No delay on voice and no cutting of voice.
True, with the wrong GPRS plan you run up a cost, but otherwise it works fine.
3G's major flaw is the bandwidth limitation per AP. At 2mbit it just doesn't work well in populated areas. Besides, most 3G operators frown upon VoIP and file transfers over their network, hence trying to block it. Skype is hard to block since it cleverly looks for open ports, however, that causes voice cutouts and delays.
Hah! Try T-Mobile GPRS lmao. There is no way you can use SKYPE with TMO in US. NO WAY! If someone says you can there are full of sh.. I have a PDA2K and a XDA IIs. I tested them both with GPRS and it sounds like shi.. The only way SKYPE will work with no problems is with WIFI.
Vodafone 3G here in the UK maximum upload speed is 64kbps which IMHO should be enough for SKYPE latency could be a problem though. Unfortunately no futher forward in getting my PDA2K to dial up to 3G phone using Bluetooth. Does anybody know of a cradle that can hold the PDA2K and V800 so that the infrared ports face each other :lol:
Buying an xda2s and will join soon
You might look a bit like dom jollie when walking down the street though LOL. I use a voip and sip client on my 5550 and use this by the multitude of wifi access points around London.I have a voip pbx back at the office that i connect to and make calls from(out to the real world not to just other skype users) I have tried skype over GPRS 3G and wifi and found because of the limited bandwidth it worked in lumps of seconds at a time but was not consistant enough to be able to hold a conversation for longer than a couple of seconds (via gprs - Voda uk) and 3Gwork slightly smoother but still not as consistant as on wifi.This i can only put down to congestion on the networks.. Anyway i suppose i ambiased as i have access to pbx voip remotely..Another cheap way to make calls..LOL :lol:

dun(dial up network)vs pan(personal area network/internet connection sharing)+ usb vs bluetooth routing help?
i see the simplicity in PAN but for me it seems to be limited to just the use with one pc.
i have done some searches on the these subject.
i have seen some hacks to get PAN to work with multiple pc using bluetooth.
i want to see if Pan could be set up to share the internet with multiple pcs using the usb cable.
i would really like to find a way to have both DUN + PAN on the tytn running wm6.
i want to see if i could install DUN back on to a my tytn running wm6.
from what i have read it seems microsoft did not remove DUN and left it as an option.
other than that note it seems there is no install file available to the public to install DUN
if it has never been included in the rom.
i guess i would not worry about DUN if PAN could do everything i want.
i have shared multiple pcs before to connect to the internet using DUN.
i have had no luck with PAN.
in the end i really want to use the tytn as router to connect a handful of device to the internet.
is Pan really that limited or do i just nut understand it enough to maxims its benefits?
if PAN is that limited is there any real chance to get DUN back on wm6?
Hello all,
Has anyone been able to install and run Bluefire Mobile Security VPN client against a wifi network on a hermes running WM6?
I've tried installing on VP3g 1.0 and 3.0 and Schaps 3.57a and I get the same issue...
Basically after install, my wifi is turned on but doesn't pick up any wireless networks. I tried turning off and turning on the wifi but still can't find any wifi networks. I opened my wifi network with no encryption and broadcasting it's SSID but no connection.
Did anyone figure out a way around this?
Thanks in advance.
This works http://www.netmotionwireless.com/products/downloads/eval.asp
If you are a business user, get your IT folks to take a no cost eval and try it

Hi Stefc,
Did you try this software connecting to a Cisco VPN concentrator?
Did you have any install problems with WM6?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I just upgraded my Hermes ATT 8525 from WM5 to the following WM6 version which I downloaded off of rapidshare site:
4. WM6 Cingular USA version (same as the official but cingular customized and radio version 1.48) thanx madcap180
Everything is working great, the upgrade was smooth and I was able to get all my data back and all that except for the WIFI connection.
I am able to connect to my Home Wireless Secured Network (SSID), and it shows that it is connected and has almost all the green bars showing excellent signal quality, but when I try to use Messenger or Internet explorer, it doesnt work. I am not sure why? Is it trying to connect using GPRS or cingulars Internet connection? If so, how do I fix it so that It connects using my home wireless connection. I do not subscribe to ATT/Cingulars Internet data plan etc,...
Any help will be greatly appreciated.... thanks
You should read the thread for this rom and ask your question there:

Thank you much! I posted my question under that post.....
Picked up a softbank X01HT today, my first WM device. It was lots of fun upgrading the Rom to Schaps 4.01 and getting bbconnect 4.0.0.91 working. Everything is great and this appears to be the device of my dreams!
One thing I've noticed though is that if I'm plugged into the USB to charge and activesync enables, the bbconnect service is blocked... likewise if I use the internet.
Any advice if these two scenarios can be overcome?
Thanks for a great community and awesome info!
You can't bypass it while utilizing activesync. As for the internet you have to use the browser that installs when you first initialize blackberry connect otherwise all other browsers will use your internet settings rather than the blackberry connect ipn. You may be able to configure it so that other applications use the bb ipn but since I no longer have my hermes I don't recall if you can. Maybe someone that has bbconnect with their hermes can chime in.
most, if not all carriers seem to not like multiple APNs running although WM6 can handle it.
What is happening is you are not using ActiveSync to surf, rather your mobile network, which shuts down the BN APN for your standard internet
The only time I am able to use both BBConnect and IE is when I am connected to WiFi. Somehow, WM6 establishes connection to WiFi access point and yet BBConnect is still connected to the BB APN.
Strangely I suddenly cannot access the internet at all, is there a way to force the browser to use my Rogers GPRS connection to access the web instead of the BB apn? It is staying on now even when I try and access the internet. Thanks!
Actually I figured it out. If I use the default browser in WM6 it goes nowhere but if I use the Internet Browser in the blackberry program folders I'm fine on the BB apn.
