Activating IP passthrough
Note: Use the USB data cable driver to
establish a cable connection between your
device and a compatible Windows-based PC.
For Windows 2000 and Windows XP users:
the drivers for the Nokia DKU-2 and CA-53
cables are integrated into Nokia PC Suite
version 6.7 and onwards. Instead of
downloading the cable driver separately, it is
recommended that you download the
Nokia PC Suite.
Select Menu
→ Connect.→ Data cable→ Options→ IP
passthrough to use the data cable for the IP passthrough
Internet access point.
Nokia Network Bridge (which can be downloaded from
forum.nokia.com) is the IP passthrough application that
allows you to obtain a network connection on your device
from a compatible PC through a USB data cable. Connect
the USB data cable to the bottom of the device. Connect
the other end of the data cable to a compatible PC, and
wait for the PC to recognize your device.
Use IP passthrough as you use any Internet access point to
browse or synchronize remotely. If a wireless network
connection is unavailable, use IP passthrough to access the
Internet or a LAN. You cannot use IP passthrough at the
same time as Nokia PC Suite. You cannot activate the
modem if you select IP passthrough in cable connection
settings.
Selecting an Internet access
point
When you establish an Internet connection, you are asked
to select the Internet access point you want to use for
that connection. Select an Internet access point from the
list of available access points, and press Select.
Tip: The Select access point dialog opens only if
you have selected Always ask in the Access
point field in the Web settings. Otherwise, the
selected default Internet access point is used.
To check the status of the setting, select
Menu
→ Web→ Options→ Settings.
Access point groups
Select Menu→ Tools→ Settings→ Connection→ Access
point groups.
An access point group is used for grouping and prioritizing
access points. An application can use a group as a
connection method instead of a single access point. In
that case the best available access point inside a group is
used for making connection and in case of email, also for
roaming.
