6.6Using Internet Sharing

Internet Sharing connects your PC or notebook computer to the Internet by using your device’s data connection (GPRS or EDGE, for instance). You can choose to connect via USB or Bluetooth.

Follow the procedure in this section to set up your device as a USB modem. To learn how to set up your device as a Bluetooth modem, see “Use the device as a Bluetooth modem” in this chapter.

Notes • Make sure your device has a SIM card installed, and you have set up a GPRS or phone dial-up modem connection on your device. If your device has not been set up with a data connection yet, tap Menu > Connection Settings on the Internet Sharing screen. For more information about setting up a GPRS connection, see "To set up a GPRS connection to

the Internet". For more information about setting up a phone dial-up connection, see "To set up a dial-up connection to your ISP".
