Hi n0nsense,
Thank you so much for your input  ......I have been trying to set up my phone as well to surf the web. But, I put all the settings in and then It states no gateway reply??????? I'm not sure what that means.....and I'm not sure if I have to sign up for the MediaNet to use this or not.....
Also, now I'm hoping you can answer that question plus another 
 I am trying to connect my phone to my pc with the cable going to the usb port....well I am having no luck....it detects new hardware, I installed everything......and it still doesn't do anything....I was trying to upload some of my pictures to my phone so I can use them for my wallpaper......and I am not having any luck.....Would you be able to help me out...... 
Thanks ahead of time......sure hope you get this message or anyone else who knows what to do......Thanks Cathy

Solution: Call Cingular and get the configuration from Nokia's site ( https://secure.mouse2mobile.com/clients/nokia/americas/ )
When I called Cingular they were a little bit reluctant to go through the configuration of my phone because they don't have any "printed" setup for it. But like NwStrife suggested I made them go through all the settings of my account, several "power-cycles" where involved. I really don't know where was the error on my account's configuration, but I do noticed that my password @ MediaNet was reset to my last 4 digits of my cell number.
The configuration (for GPRS and MMS) I used on my phone was the one provided by Nokia's site and this one is:
==For GPRS==
Connection Name: Cingular Express
Data Bearer: GPRS
Access Point Name: wap.cingular
Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Prompt Password:No
Password: CINGULAR1
Authentication: Secure
Homepage: http://device.home
==Advance Settings==
Phone IP Address: Automatic
Primary Name Server: 0.0.0.0
Secondary Name Server: 0.0.0.0
Proxy Server Address: 066.209.011.032
Proxy Port Number: 8080
For MMS everything is the same as above, except for the following:
Connection Name: Cingular MMS
Homepage: http://mmsc.cingular.com
**One thing that I noticed is that Cingular claims that you should assign an IP address to the phone itself, in this case the address 066.209.011.032 but by reading their documentation Cingular descibes that the address is a "Gateway IP address" (in this case the Proxy Server), not a phone IP.
Aftermath....
After visitng a couple of sites using Opera I checked back the GPRS log of my phone and I was amazed with the number of Kilobytes a connection can consume, be careful with that, your bill can become really high on a short period of time.
Another thing that I accomplished is to share my Internet connection (from my cable modem--->desktop) to my phone using OS X. If anyone is interested I'll be glad to explain the setup. Just let me know.
In the mean time.....Does anyone have succesfully used their 6600 as a modem on OSX? I don't want to use GPRS, I want to dial in my ISP. The only modem scripts I found are the ones of Ross Barkman ( http://www.taniwha.org.uk/ ) but his scripts are for GPRS connections. I might be wrong though.
Thanks for your help!

Using a Nokia 6230 as a modem in OSX is EXACTLY what I've been searching for all day. From what I hear, the 6600 and the 6230 are very similar internally. I'm also a little confused about Cingular's media package. I purchased the Media Works package and was under the impression that I would be able to use my phone as a modem using bluetooth (as I could with my Sony/Erricson with AT&T) and that the data portion would not be charged. Am I wrong? My GPRS has worked fine from day one, however, I have no idea what information I need enter into my network settings on my Mac in order to use the phone as a modem---yes, I'm aware of the nokia modem scripts that were mentioned earlier in this thread:-) n0nsense...why do you want to dialup to your ISP to connect?
Please, Please, Please...Does anyone have the answers that I'm seeking here?

~n0nsense |
Could you please give me the instruction for accomplishing this? (sharing my Mac's internet with my phone). I've been trying to figure this out myself.
