Unable to create dial up connection in Vista
I am trying to set up a dial up connection, but it would just say the setup cannot create the connection. When i query the modem in the device manager, its working properly. anyone got any suggestions for solution?

Do you have a dial-up modem installed?
Is it connected to an active phone jack?
What software are you using to establish the connection?
What are you trying to connect to?

Yes I do. An Agere Systems modem which i believe is internal and the "Standard Modem" which is the BlackBerry modem thingy that i'd like to use.

I think answer to that would be no. Its connected using a USB cable to the Blackberry

Software: just the Vista dial up connection setup wizard

of course the internet.

You connected a dial-up modem to the mini USB port on a BlackBerry? Not only have I never seen a cable that makes that type of connection, I have no idea what you'd do with it.

If you want to tether a Blackberry, you must have Blackberry Desktop Manager running along with Blackberry Device Manager (in the system tray).

Who is your Blackberry's service provider?

You're not creating a standard dial-up connection. Both the model BlackBerry you have and your cell service provider have to support tethering.

Instruction for setting up this connection vary by model and provider.
