Sharing your PC internet with your Symbian S60 mobile phone
Introduction
The instructions detailed here are for the Panasonic X800 which has almost the same hardware specifications as the Nokia 6600.
Configurations detailed here should work just as well on any Series 60, Symbian OS 7.0 phones (Nokia 3230, 6260, 6600, 6620, 6670, 7610. Panasonic X800, X700. Samsung SGH-D710 ). You may need to to play around with the GNUBOX program for other models of phones.
You can now kiss your GPRS bill goodbye

Setting up the mobile phone

Configuring the phoneThis is the Access Point login script. Remember to replicate it exactly as shown. CHARMAP [windows-1252] *UPDATE – thanks to Xan of GNUBOX http://gnubox.dnsalias.org/gnubox/ * This can also be replaced with clicking in gnubox: install->set login script (thus no need to type in that long script) after create records you MUST exit gnubox with options->close. This is **VERY** important. After exiting you may start it again immediately and follow the upcoming steps
