Things you need to use your N8 as a wire-modem:
- The USB-cable between your N8 and computer
- The APN of your mobile internet provider.
OK, let's get started:
- Connect the devices with the USB cable.
- Set the N8 to the "ovi suite mode". This is confusing, since there's even a "use as a modem" option, but don't select it. Ok, just select it and notice that nothing happens and proceed to next item.
- If you don't know how to setup the connection mode go to the home screen. Tap the right upper corner symbol for USB/Battery/etc. A small menu will appear, tap the USB symbol again. Now you can change the connection mode. Select the "ovi suite" mode at the top.
- Modems will appear visible on your mac. Click ->system settings->network. You should see some items as "N8-00-usbmodem-something" on the left.
- Select one, set Telephone number to *99# (this step might be obsolete)
- Hit 'Advanced' and
- Change 'vendor' to nokia
- Set 'Model' to GPRS/GSM/3G
- Type your APN here.
- click 'Ok'
- Click 'Connect'
That's it, you're set for browsing.
