"No gateway reply" error for GPRS connection

Hi,

I have received strange message while establishing connection via phones gprs but while doing this I observed that this happens for only certain location such as when i went to my office discussion room am not able to get connected to Internet it gives an error suggesting that "No gateway reply".

This is something really strange is happening to me.

please suggest how do I solve this problem..

Thanks

I got the same error when I tried connected using my laptop through bluetooth. I called up the airtel customer care and they helped me troubleshoot the problem. This is what I had to do in my laptop running windows XP to fix the problem:

1. Go to Control Panel
2. Select Phone and Modem Options
3. Click on Modem tab.
4. Double click on Nokia 3110 classic Bluetooth Modem (this should open the Properties window).
5. Select Advanced tab.
6. Empty the Extra initialization commands textbox.
7. Click on OK.

I guess it could be a matter of location and the signal strength and capacity (relative to demand) in that location.

My GPRS has been very unreliable I have had some success changing the prefs/network/username to get it to work (it loses the assigned name very quickly) or by switching phone off /on.
