Super COOL Procedures to get into 3 Modes using modem mode!!

[climo]

I have a A780 and followed the directions however windows will not let me map a drive to the address given. \\169.254.142.2\system. Path cannot be found. Everything else went smooth until this part.
Can someone tell me where I went wrong?

Ok i dun have time for graphics... I'll juz explain in words.. if u follow carefully, u should get it set up in a short time!! If u use XP, this is the procedures:
First set your phone to "MODEM" mode!!!

1) get to system properties-> Hardware-> device manager-> modems ->double click on "motorola usb modem", get to advanced-> extra initialisation string, enter "at+mode=99", click ok n close
2) Next u gotta create a dialup network connection to connect to your E680 in USBLAN mode. Goto network connection wizard-> choose "connect to the network at my workplace", select "dialup connection", enter a connection name eg. "E680 USBLAN", enter "123" for phone no., select to "place shortcut on desktop".
3) If u click on network connections now, u should see a USBLAN dialup network. Modify the dialup connection properties to use "motorola usb modem" as connect device, uncheck "prompt for pw", prompt for phone no" under options. close .
4) Now click on the shortcut icons to start the dialing, u will encounter an "error", click "CANCEL" n u will get connected to the phone in USB LAN Mode. how do ya knoe?
5) get to explorer, map a drive to "\\169.254.142.2\system"
u can see al the files in this directory like when u are un USB mode. u can copy n do file ops here!!!
6) if u want to telnet the phone, get to cmd prompt, type telnet 169.254.142.2, login root.... ur in

yeah.. works for me...

no need to use usb mass storage anymore...

e680i users can also use the above method...
