    It has been awhile since I set up my network connections. Do you have fAPN and fMMS installed? I added and deleted my data connections with fAPN until they worked with my provider. The fAPN and fMMS treads here seem pretty active. Good luck.

    You can't delete GPRS data connection access points that are automatically generated by information gathered from your SIM card. This is for your protection so you never accidentally delete your providers GSM access point, leaving you with no GPRS/EDGE/UMTS data access.

    Since there is no method out of the box to create data access points on the N900, it assumes that any GPRS data access point is one that was created automatically so you can't delete any of them.

    fAPN allows you to create new Access GPRS data access points and also to delete those GPRS access points.

    I could not remember if I deleted the default connection. My provider does not support the N900 directly but gave me the proxy, port, wap and mms info and said have at it. The order seems to matter as it would open a mms connection with the web browser on my first setup. Thus a few edits and deletes to fine tune it.
    Thanks for the clarification cddiede,
    Take care.

    gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/z_fMMS-APN
    that should remove the fmms one

    as for your provider, as mentioned above, be careful you dont remove your default one. as long as you know its not it then...

    if you run:
    gconftool-2 -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP

    it should give a list of all the connections you have, whatever the path is to the provider one you don't want, add that to the first command i gave you

    I have GPRS connection named "T-Mo MMS" and want to delete it. Could you pls type the whole command for that name? Also, how do I "run" commends? I know very little about programming.
    Thanks!

    I'm trying to remove an MMS APN which my N900 keeps automatically connecting to. If I delete it, following these steps, can I re set it later in case I want it back?

    Thanks for the info.

    This procedure does not remove mine. Is it because I have the CSSU as opposed to maemo? I want to remove this annoying problem.
