I have a Nokia E61 mobile phone with 3G internet connection. When I connect it to the computer via USB cable and choose IP pasthrough, this line appears in the list of network connections:

Wired network (Nokia E61 (RNDIS))

This option is disabled, I can not choose it. What should I do to allow connection of the computer to the mobile phone as modem?

Update: the phone has Symbian S60 operating system.

  • Look through the phone's manual and see if there's any settings for sharing net access. Also, there's a tab on Network Manager called Mobile Broadband - look for your device there.

  • Might help to specify the OS that your phone is running.

  • Oxwivi, you are right - I have read the manual carefully and it helped.

  • The point was to choose PC suite mode on the phone instead of IP passthrough mode. It works well now. Thanks for great RTFM tip.

Does the phone allow wired connections on other operating systems? Your carrier may have locked this down.

(Aside: My FreeRunner 'just worked' when I would hook it up to my computer to charge it; it was detected as an ethernet card.)
