Hello Moto Q Forums

Hello,

Has anybody here sucessfully been able to use the "Modem Link" utility to use their Q as a USB EVDO modem? Here is what I am doing so far, hopefully somebody can point out my stupid mistake

(0. Install drivers, etc. from included CD-ROM)
1. Plug into WinXP machine via USB
2. Close out of ActiveSync
3. Goto Modem Link and push Activate softkey
4. WinXP says "detecting new hardware" and installed a device driver for "Smartphone Wireless USB Modem"
5. Create Dial-up connection with the following settings:
Phone No. #777
User & Password left blank

Now instead of seeing a "connected" message (like on the Treo 650's DUN) I get "Error 777: The connection attempt failed because the modem (or other connecting device) on the remote computer is out of order."

Please help!

Also, I would like to say that I think this forum is very nice and the extensive download section has already helped me find some great programs for my one-day-old Q. Keep up the great work

Thanks,
- Brian

The software with the Sprint Q is for a DUN not an EVDO connection and as far as I can tell and I have tried there is only one way to get the Q to work as an EVDO connection. I am using PHAnet , it is EZ to use and works very well. I am not a fan of pay software so I tried everything I could think of before getting PDAnet, Sorry.

Oh yes, that is what I am trying to do (make a Dialup Network connection.)

Basically, I'm trying to emulate the DUN feature I had on my Treo 650, which shared its web connection via Bluetooth. It doesn't have to be fast, just enough to check/write email from a laptop.

I'm looking into PDAnet, but I'd rather have something that doesn't involve 3rd party software (what's the point of the Q's builtin feature then?)

Thanks

You need to have the phone as a modem package to use the EVOD network. Then you use the Sprint PCS Connection software instead of dialing.
