I also have had problems connecting. thanks to the generous people on this forum- I have been able to get my LG VX8300 and the N800 to recognize each other!
That's where the fun stopped.
I have the $60/month data plan with the USB modem- and thought maybe just maybe I can now use the n800 on the road- which is where I spend 1/3 of my life! Dragging out the laptop is sometimes not an option- therefore the N800....

What happens is when I try to connect- all seems to be going according to plan- the phone exhibits its EDVO messages- but then the N800 displays "Authentication failed"

I have checked my settings, used vzw as my password, used my mobile number with @vzw3g.com as user name and #777 as the dial up number.

I don't want to hack my mobile device as I'm always the one to get caught- and I don't have $800 to pay and then maybe get the payment reversed later...

Can anyone out there help me get over this last hurdle?


I really love the N800 when I can get to a hotspot- but that really doesn't happen too often!

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
