nokia 6080 as modem


I recently purchase a nokia6080 set and a prolific ca42 cable.The only purpose is i want to connect internet through mobile but when i install nokia pc suit and ca42 cable driver it does not detect the mobile,so i download nokia pc suit 6.85.14.1 and install it. I can see nokia 6080 connected to pc suit notification when i click on one touch access it shows "no modem found" .Then i browse many sites and nokia discussions but can't find any solution then i use a trick to "USE NOKIA 6080 as MODEM".

requirements:
hardware:
1.nokia6080
2.ca-42 cable

software:
1.nokia pc suit latest version
2.cable driver of your cable

***this is tested on windows xp and windows vista***
steps:
1. install pcsuit and cable driver.
2. connect the phone to cable and cable to pc.a notification of new hardware found installing driver for device on "comX",then device is ready to use appear.(com1,2,3 etc)

3. open nokia pc suit and in manage connections uncheck all the options.(*important)
4. open control panel > modem and phone.
5. if you open it for first time it prompt for area code,enter area code.
6. click OK,then in modem tab click add new.
7. check "don't detect my modem" option and click next.
in the list left side select nokia and right side select any modem.
(you cant see nokia 6080,select any model no from list i select nokia 3500c bluetooth modem)

8.click next and select com port at which your mobile is connected.(in my case it is com16 for first usb port)

9.click finish.

10. now creat a new connection using this modem.
11. if modem not responding error shows, disconnect cable reconnect and then dial.

I think that this is useful for you friends and please leave comments.
