Okay, so with a little more research, I have found a reference to the problem in this thread over in HowardForums...
http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...hreadid=998021
"- Edit /etc/ppp/option and uncomment "+pap" and "-chap". It appears that vzw can't handle the attempt at CHAP authentication."
I recall that I did have to do this on my MacBookPro to get it to work with bluetooth DUN as well.
Now my question is, how do I get at "/etc/ppp/option" in order to make the edits required?

You will need to become ' Root ' then you will need to use ' vi editor ' ( or something similar ) to edit the files. You will also need ' xterm '. The details of these ( and their use ) are mentioned comprehensively at maemo.org. Please check that out.

Arjun,
Thanks for taking the time to reply to this newbie! I will continue to check out the resources at maemo.org....the learning curve on all this is a little steeper than I suspected!
So if I understand you correctly, I need to install xterm onto the N800 first and then become root and then edit the settings....is that right?

I am experiencing the exact same thing now.... I changed the options file and now I get "Internet connection failed" error message when trying to connect with my phone. I know my phone works, too, because I can use it to access the internet with my MacBookPro no problem.
Anyone have any ideas???

I too am having the same problem with my 700p, works with my laptop so I know its not the phone. If this isn't corrected the 800 goes back.

My settings for my 770 and LG VX8600 are:
Dial-up number: #777
User name: <MDN>@vzw3g.com
Password: vzw
Connection type: Packet data
The <MDN> must automatically retrieve the number from the phone.
The MDM is not necessarily your phone number.
Dial-up number: #777
User name: <MDN>@vzw3g.com
Password: vzw

Do you mean that you just keep the username as "<MDN>@vzw3g.com" instead of changing it to "1234567890@vzw3g.com"???
And I wonder what my MDN is if it is not my number?

Yes, enter it as "<MDN>@vzw3g.com"
I am trying to use the 1x network and I have disabled the EVDO stuff on the phone.
I have entered the connection info correctly, I believe. #777, [mynumber]@vzw3g.com, vzw.
Should I be using Packet or Data on the N800?
I know the phone is setup correctly because I can use it as a bluetooth modem from my MacBookPro. I'm sure that I'm missing something silly on this N800. I've only had it out of the box for about 30 minutes now...
