N900 USB tethering with Mac - easy as 1-2-3
Since I need a modem on the road first thing I needed to setup was USB/Bluetooth tethering for my Powerbook with my N900.
I had so much trouble with blackberry/Palm Pre/other smart phone tethering in the past that I thought I'd start in the morning so I have all day to figure that one out. Well, after 2 minutes I was done. I was rather amazed. Step 1: Plug-in N900 with USB cable into Mac Step 2: Select PC Suite mode on your N900 Step 3: Select this: http://images.geekazoids.net/pcsuite.jpg Enter *99# for the phone number Step 4: Click on Advanced Enter the APN as shown below (T-Mobile USA only) http://images.geekazoids.net/advanced.jpg Click Connect and voila: http://images.geekazoids.net/speedtest.jpg Hope this helps. |

Hmm... Seems a little slow. You can't be on 3.5G. 3G maybe?
And yeah, it's always been easy on a Mac. My E71 sets up the same way. |

Every time I enter PC Suite Mode on my Mac when I try to disconnect I get a kernel panic. EVERY time. I'm on 10.6.2 a year old Macbook.
Anyone else having this issue? |

here you will find the APN settings for UK networks, if people need them.
If only syncing was as easy *sigh*... |

Coz I tired what is mentioned here and is does not work, it says ( An error occured with the modem. Try reconnecting. If the probelm continues, verify your settings and contact your administator.) Help will be appreciated guys. Thanks Mike... |
