LG CU500
DUN?
Also, is the charger proprietary or the mini-USB?
Thanks for the quick reply Seedub.
It was the exact same for the CU320. I tethered via USB and BT just fine.
"The PC recognizes the phone as a Removable

Software features I will miss include sending text messages from my computer and editing contacts on a full keyboard.
It is possible (I'm not an expert) that you need this driver: LGUSBModemDriver_Eng_Ver_4.5.exe
I found it by googling the name and downloading it. In fact, this was the link where I downloaded it: http://www.fileindex.net/search.aspx/src~LGUS BModemDriver_Eng_Ver_4.5.exe/fs~1365874
The file resides at us.lg.com, so I ignored the "this software is not verified by Microsoft" errors when installing it. I now am connected to my phone, but I don't konw if it had anything to do with this driver or not.

If that dosn't work, then give me your email address and I'll e-mail the exe to you.
Remember that I can't get my phone to work as a modem, so you may be going down the wrong path here.

I have the data cable and bluetooth. Using either, I can browse my 1GB SanDisk memory card.
This is how I tried to set up the phone as a modem:
1. I followed these instructions, and tried to manually set up a DUN:

That didn't work (with the USB cable). I tried installing the Cingualar Connection Manager, but that wouldn't recognize the phone (bluetooth or USB cable). I then tried to install a LG Modem driver: LGUSBModemDriver_Eng_Ver_4.5.exe

But that didn't work either. I then tried blue...

The Communications Manager created a DUN named LG Mobile USB Modem #2. I don't know why the #2, but whatever.
I can see my text messages stored in my phone on my computer screen, so everything seemed good until I tried to connect to the network. Then I get this error message:
"Error 619: A connection to the remote computer could not be established, so the port used for this connection was closed. For more assistance, click More Info or search Help...

Select the laptop with the OS you have, and you will get to a step-by-step explanation (both with the Cingular Communicator, and without it).
Note that the non-Communicator USB solution talks about some software you should have gotten with the USB Cable - I never got such software. My windows XP desktop did, however, recognize the device as a modem, when I set the phone up as described there.
I haven't followed u...

Now that I've tried the Cingular support site, I get the same 619 error. It connects, but can't authorize. I tried the Cingular instructions for the Connection Manager and setting up my own connection.
Hmmm. Let me know what else you guys are trying.

I've learned a lot in the process (not an expert Windows user). I don't know if you really need the LG driver that I mention above or not, but it's working.

Switched easily between 3G and EDGE without a problem, but during my initial connection I had to rest my phone because it kept refusing a connection. I could surf on my phone either, which is why I rest the phone. That worked.
