Pour que les 8700 soient employés comme modem, vous avez besoin seulement du “Blackberry Desktop,” la version 4.1 ou plus grand.

Vous pouvez la trouver sur l’emplacement de WEB, regardez ici :

Argh.. I know the frustration. In the dozen or so connections I’ve done, there were a few that just refused to work until I beat them into submission. Lessons learned were:

It works best with 8000 + series Blackberrys. 7000 series (7100, etc) are problematic.

It works best with a clean install of the desktop software.

Sometimes you need the extra init string, and sometimes it causes problems — sometimes its the case (upper vs lower) of the string, strangely.

Things to try, if you haven’t already:

a) Remove the BB desktop software, verify you have version 4.2 or better, and then re-install. Once that’s done, change nothing, but check to see if there is now a “standard modem” installed.

b) Check the modem log — you can get to it from the device manager (right click my computer, choose properties, device manager, and then expand the modem listing). Most of what’s there is greek, but it’s a log of the conversation between your PC and the blackberry (as a modem). Look for a line that says “error” or some such. That will let you know you have a problem with the modem init string itself.

However, i suspect, it’s an installation problem, and the modem driver is not installed correctly.

Start with the RIM page on tethered modem use, there are a couple of walk throughs that show you how to verify the modem, and then set it up. It’s at : http://tinyurl.com/33xas9
