How to set up web on you're Treo

[prior.dr]

;^) Okay, now to business:

• On the Aplication launcher, go to your preferences tool and activate it.

• Once there, select the entry for "Network."

• Out of the box, the Sprint Tréo 755p (Sprint) has only one service, "Sprint Provisioning." This is locked in ROM, and cannot be edited without 3rd party tools. Cricket cannot change it, and Sprint won't, but that's okay because we don't have to remove it. We'll create another sevice to use instead.

Hit the menu key, then select "Service/New."

• Give the service the name "My Cricket," or whatever strikes your fancy.

• Set the connection to "High Speed Wireless." I haven't gotten the high speed part working yet, but do it anyway.

• Set the user name to [yourphonenumberwithoutspaces]@mycricket.com

• Set the password to "cricket", with no quotes.

• Click the "Details" button to access the next screen. Uncheck the "Mobile IP" box. Other data fields will disappear when you do this, but that's okay because we won't use them anyway.

• Click the "Advanced" button. The next screen will show checkboxes for "Automatic IP" and "Query DNS." They should both be checked already, which is what we want.

• Click the "Okay" button twice to return to the main screen.

• Click the "Connect" button. The Tréo should report that it's connecting to "My Cricket," or whatever fanciful name you selected earlier.

;^) That's half the battle done; now to reset our browser, Blazer.

• Fire up Blazer, then pick "Options/Perferences" from the menu.

• Set your home page to home

• Click the "Advanced" tab, then click the "Set Proxy" button.

• On the new page, ensure the "Use Proxy" button is checked.

• Set the "Proxy Server" to: wap.mycricket.com

• Set the "Port" to: 8080

• Click "OK" twice to return to Blazer.

:^/ Annnnd, that's it! You should now be able to surf the Internet via Cricket's proxy, and x1 speed, which is oodles times faster than not connecting at all. I've yet to learn how to get EVDO working, though it's supposed to be available in Portland, and Cricket sell wireless modem cards for laptops. These support EVDO, so it's just a matter of learning which server, password and proxy to use, I think.

;^) Of course, you have to be subscribed to Cricket Internet; it won't work for free!

[Edit]
:^/ Dang, there's a bit that I left out:

• While still in the Preferences/Network tool after creating our new service, select Options/View Log from the menu.

• Scroll to the bottom of the log and notice the cursor there. The log doubles as a CLI, see.

• Type "?" (without quotes) and hit the carriage return key. The CLI will return a list of valid commands. The one were interested in is "pdpset."

• Type "pdpset 1" (again without quotes) and hit return. This tells the Tréo to use the Network Service that we've just created.

NOW go to the browser and so on...
Hope this helps you guys
