Airtel settings for your deskstop while using Mobile as modem.

* Goto “Start–>Control Panel”
* Click on “Network & Internet Connections”
* Under header “Pick a task” click on “Create a connection to the network at your workspace”.
* Now you will get “New Connection Wizard dialog box, select “Dial-up connection” & click next.
* Dialog will ask for “Connection Name”, give whatever you would like to. I had given “airtelgprs”.
* It asks for “Phone Number”, enter number as “*99***1#”
* If you want select to put a shortcut on desktop (Preferred) & finish setup.



Now you will see a shortcut saying “airtelgprs” (In my case) on desktop. Make sure you installed your phone drivers & connect your phone. Double click the icon on desktop, leave blank “User name” & “Password” fields & click “Dial”. One message will pop-up to confirm its connected. Following are few points to check if not connected:


* Check whether modem drivers for your phone are installed. Normally this will come with your phone’s PC Suite. Installing PC Suite will install all required drivers.
* Check whether your phone could be used as modem or not.
* You need to activate “Mobile Office” service of Airtel to connect. Other services like “Airtel Live” & “NOP/Airtel Online” will not work for this connection.
* If you are getting message “Modem not responded”, try restart your mobile & reconnect it.
