Download drivers for mobile modem

In order to use mobile modem for internet connection, obtain mobile phone specific driver for particular operating system. Most of these drivers are downloaded from mobile phone companies web site. Once proper program or driver is installed, attach mobile phone as a modem to the computer. Open network connection control panel and a connection for phone modem should appear. If this is not an option, then most likely active sync is activated. Computer can only recognize one type of connection from the mobile phone. Active sync is usually set as a auto connection when mobile phone is connected to the computer. Mobile phone could be reset or manually turn off active sync. Start Wireless modem of mobile phone and start the modem then connect the mobile phone to the computer. For PPC6700 mobile phone, three type connection type is offered: USB, Bluetooth, and IrDA. Most computer do not offer connection via IrDA, but other two connections are possible. I personally preferred connection via USB due to reliability. I am currently connected to internet via mobile modem.
