[ubuntu-za] Cellphone problem in Ubuntu 8.10

[Reenen Laurie]

Does it connect and then disconnect (ie. can you see traffic, about 5kb
recieved and sent is what's required on my side)?  Or does it just not
connect at all?

Hi Guys

I hope someone can help me out. My SonyErricsson W850i phone has packed
up, so I'm using my dad's old Samsung SGH-Z500 phone. When I plug it
into my machine with the USB cable, Ubuntu detects it and lets me set up
a connection. My problem is when I click to connect, it show's it trying
to connect then I just get a disconnected message all the time. Any
idea's? At the moment I have to connect the phone to my work laptop
running xp and I've shared the connection over my switch so I can use
internet in ubuntu, but it's a hassle to hook up the laptop everytime I
want to go online.

Thanks
Jason
