The internet.wind APN has to be set up on the phone. Then, put *99# as dial-up access number on your laptop.

*99# is the basic command for a mobile phone to connect via GPRS/EDGE. You can usually set up several APN on a phone. If you want to use your default APN, just have your laptop dial *99# and it should work.

Some mobiles need you to specify which APN has to be used ; then your laptop should dial *99***1# for the first APN, *99***2# for the second one, etc. This must also be done if your network operator uses different APN for wap and web : the default APN for your phone is usually the wap APN, so the dialing string from your laptop must specify that it needs the web APN.

On some phones like SonyEricsson, you can find the number of each APN ; it's called CID. If you don't find the number, just try all APN (change the last number in the dial-up string) untill it works...
