want to create, GPRS or Dial-Up.

GPRS Advanced tabs

Server

User name and password

Normally, you do not have to enter a user name and
password when you connect to a GPRS account. However,
some service providers may require you to enter these
details.
If you select the

User name and password required

check

box, but do not enter a user name and password, you will
be prompted to enter these when the P800 connects.

Address

Enter the Internet address of your access point. The address
is supplied by your service provider.

Log in

The settings on this tab deal with IP and DNS addresses.
The DNS address uniquely identifies your Internet Service
Provider (ISP)'s computers, which your P800 uses to
connect to the Internet. Your P800 can normally fetch these
addresses automatically from most ISPs.
If, after setting up an Internet account, you cannot connect
to the Internet and you suspect these addresses are
incorrect, ask your ISP for their primary and secondary
DNS addresses.
