Since it connects in mobile , i don't think there is a network problem.

First uninstall Pc-suite & everything related to it.

Install the latest version of pc-suite.
Connect [FONT=Default Sans Serif,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]3230 or N72[/FONT].
It should install the modem drivers. Check that they are present in Network connections.
Put Access point as "airtelgprs.com" in ur phone.
Connect ur phone to pc with cable.
Click on "One Touch Access" and select configure.
Select Network operator as "AirTel India" and click finish.

If ur connecting directly from Network connections then make sure Username & password are blank and dial-up number is *99#

Now you should be able to connect via pc.


If it still doesn't work try repairing ur windows or as a final choice Format :p

hey buddy you can find complete and very good details on tech-flood(dot)blogspot(dot) (com)...these are excerpts from the tech-flood blog

Connect your mobile phone to internet is very simple ...just follow these steps
Requirements
:: A pc or laptop, a cell-phone with GPRS facility, a data cable to connect the cell-phone to laptop or pc if your cell-phone has bluetooth or infra-red facility then you don’t need datacable.


  • First of all you have to call customer care (121) to activate your GPRS. It may take 2 or 3 days.
  • After your connection is activated they send you some settings as per as your mobile phone, you have to enable those settings.
  • Now install the driver of the data cable and connect your cell-phone to the pc or labtop.
  • Just in the driver software you will get the internet settings options, enable those options and double click to start. you will have Connecting Device : Your mobile’s modem ISP Name : Airtel (or anything you like)Phone Number : *99***2# Username and Password : blank
  • Connect to the dial-up account. You will be connected at 115.2 kbps (However it never happens).

I think ur replying to the wrong person , TS is having the problem.

Of course manually entering apn also works , but the above method "AirTel India" is more newbie friendly :p

Ps. Entering access point as internet won't work in One Touch Access, u have to enter "airtelgprs.com"

@salilrane

Sp3 might be the culprit. I too had some problems with some software i was using then , after all its still quite new.

For now try to roll back to SP2 and see if it works.

2 go to phone and modem options

3. now click modems and select your modem port and

4. now click on properties and now click on advanced tab.

5.now enter following code into extra settings code is:
