Have this issue with both windows 7 and windows xp on my asus netbook. Any idea on what I can try? I use the *99# phone number to dial out and no username/pass needed for my connection...

Any idea wat I can try?
Bluetooth-DUN would have issues with some mobile carriers. You may try Bluetooth-PAN instead:

To all those who has problem connect to WiFi, please try setting the wifi hotspot to (support) adhoc mode or turn off powersaving on N900 (for that wifi profile only).
