PC Suite Help!

I understand that my phone is different and that I used a serial cable
from the phone to the laptop, but this is what I did and hopefully it
will help.
I have a Nokia 6340i and have been able to connect to my IBM laptop.
If the phone was not detected,I would turn the phone off and then back
on, or I would unplug the cable. If that did not work, I would shut
the IBM off then on. In the control panel, within Modem, is the phone
modem listed? After all programs were loaded, I opened up Nokia
Connection Manager and I had to click OFF the Cable and IR also Click
OFF the phone from being detected. SOUNDS NUTS, but that was the only
way that the IBM would recognize the cable in Com Port 1. I signed up
for the internet with cingular "no cost", but I just plug the cable in
the phone and click on the the internet program on my IBM . I am now
on line with Earthlink also with an Intranet program. Good Luck.
