GPRS, Bluetooth and IE (Page cannot be displayed) madu 07-18-2005

So I have iMate SP3i with the latest firmware.
I have an ASUS W5 laptop with builtin bluetooth stack by Toshiba.
It runs Windows XP SP2 with all recent updates.

I can ActiveSync via Bluetooth and I can setup a Dial-up Networking connection
via bluetooth (ie. set up a bluetooth modem).

I can connect via GPRS to the Internet, it shows the status of connection and
all is ok.

I can send/receive email from a mail server (address: 195.xxx.xxx.xxx)

I CAN PING IP ADDRESSES (195.xxx.xxx.xxx)!!!
BUT I CANNOT PING WEB ADDRESSES (www.google.com)

When I start IE and go to www.google.com it says "The page cannot be displayed"
(dnserror).

Basically - it cannot resolve DNS names.

Same happens when using USB connection (HTC USB Modem).

Here is what MS says about this:
Your GPRS phone may not connect to the Internet
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;827539

AND stupidly there is no way to download the bloody hotfix!

Any ideas?
