Re: Huawei E160G Mobile Broadband USB "dongle"

"3" is Hutchinson's 3G network (stupid name for a network!).

Plenty of disc space on the laptop and software has been installed OK - it
is transferred from the dongle.

I have a Toshiba G20 laptop running Media Centre Edition.

I bought a Huawei E160G Mobile Broadband USB dongle on the 3 network last
week. I cannot it to work on this laptop, I have changed the dongle and
checked the SIM card but still not working. But it works OK on an older
Toshiba laptop and my HP desktop.

if "3" is what I think it is, and I looked at a certain home-page
for telecommunication at a certain mid european city, then this
device has some Software to install, on the home-page it says that it
needs 50MB of space on the drive and at least 128MB of RAM, I guess
the Toshiba has plenty of room on the drive? and the RAM is
sufficient as well?


I have been through turning off any non-essential programs but it still will
not work.

It does not find the network and I get the message "No device with SIM card
is configured. Can not access the SIM card."

I have spoken to the 3 help desk but they just recommend unplugging the
dongle, checking the SIM card is the right way around etc i.e. useless!

I have posted messages in several forums and trying here in the hope that
someone might recognise the problem and be able to suggest a solution.
