Connecting a Microsoft Pocket PC Smartphone to the Rogers GPRS Network

After several hours (spread over three days) I've finally managed to connect my iMate SP3 to the Rogers GPRS network, and set up the phone to browse the internet and send and recieve email. Actually, a work coleague of Mike's-- who happens to know have more knowledge than the collective Rogers Data support team -- got it working. I must add however that I certainly "loosened the lid" so to speak.

Here are the configuration settings:

1. Create a New Connection called "Rogers HTTP Connection"
   
2. Add the connection settings
   • Connects to: The Internet
   • Access Point: internet.com
   • Username: wapuser1
   • Password: wap
   • Primary DNS: 207.181.101.4
   • Secondary DNS: 207.181.101.4


3. Explicitly set the Internet connection to the name of the connection configured above.


4. Specify the Internet connection the browser should use
   
   
   
   • open Internet Explorer
   • press the "menu" button and choose "options"
   • choose "connections" from the list of available options
   • make sure "Automatically detect settings is not checked
   • set Select network to: The Internet
