How to make setting for Internet in Mobile

It is very common to use internet in our Mobile phones but for accessing internet we need some setting. These setting are provided by Networks by sending some specific SMS.

We can configure manually these setting for mobile browser as well as third-party browsers. You don't need to have a lot of knowledge for this. This is very easy once you know it you can configure any Handset for Internet / GPRS use.

I am telling this for Nokia Handsets for BSNL Network once you know about one Network you can configure any Network.

Setting for Mobile browser :

Setting > Configuration >Personal Configuration Settings

after that Options > Add New > Web

> Give Account Name (Bsnl GPRS)
> Home Page : http://google.com
> Leave User Name and Password blank.
> Use Preferred Access Point > No
> Define Access Point Setting > Ok
> Access Point Setting > Proxy > Enable >Proxy Address : 10.220.67.131
> Port : 8080
> Bearer Setting > Packet data Access Point > bsnllive

after setting up as described above Go back to Personal Configuration Settings and Activate.

Note : The Web Setting is used for Mobile browser only.

• Airtel GPRS Setting

• Virgin Mobile GPRS Setting

Setting for third-party browser or any other Application :

Setting > Configuration >Personal Configuration Settings

after that Options > Add New > Access Point

> Give Account Name (Bsnl GPRS)
> Access Point Setting > Bearer Setting > Packet data Access Point > bsnlnet

Default Access Point is internet change it to bsnlnet for Bsnl GPRS.

• Access Point for different Networks

Note : The Access Point Setting is used for Third-party browser or any other Application.

In other Handsets First find the Configuration Setting then Configure it accordingly.

There was a good option for giving static ip address in which I gave manually ip address , netmask , dns and it worked fully.

I also faced problem in login in root in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I searched then found a command 

sudo passwd root

sudo sh -c 'echo "greeter-show-manual-login=true" >> /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf'

I copied and pasted the above command in terminal and restarted the system then there was an option for entering User Name and password. I used User Name ‘root’ and Password whatever I used before for system login.

and if you want to remove that User Name and Password option from there then use this command

sudo passwd root

sudo sh -c 'echo "greeter-show-manual-login=false" >> /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf'

Best Mail Client : Mozilla Thunderbird

Why we need mail client ?

A Mail Client stores all the existing web mails in your PC or any other server depending on your choice 'imap' or 'pop' and you can access that any time but for synchronization to mails server you must have an active Internet Connection.

Some times we don't have Internet Connection in that case if we want to access our old mails then we can easily access them.

It may be possible that you are feeling very slow to Internet Connection then You can access mails on the basis of last synchronization.

I used two or three Mail Clients but now I am using 'Mozilla Thunderbird'. because it configures automatically , no additional setting is needed.

You can download it from it's official website.
