My problem with the "3" USB mobile broadband dongle.

I think it must be a clash with something in the laptop.

Checked the SIM card and OK in a phone.

I have a different dongle and the same as the original.

When I try to Manually Select Network I get this message

No device with SIM card is configured. Can not access the SIM card.

I tried in my desktop and I get the normal message for selecting message
i.e. not the above error message. Not gone any further on the desktop
but
will try investigating possible incompatibilities in the laptop.

Any ideas?????

It sounds like you're not connecting automatically to the 3 network

I take it the software was loaded OK from the dongle onto the host
computers? IOW, you are seeing the 3 dialler software OK when you
click on the icon?

I'd try uninstalling the software from the laptop, and reinstalling it
- which should be automatic when you connect the dongle after the
uninstallation.


Yes all loaded OK and received an update which loaded.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
