Sign up with GoogleI 've just got the Vodacom 3G USB modem, and I'm having strange problems - anybody else experiencing this? On 3 different PCs, and 2 different browsers (FF and IE), I cannot connect to any secure sites (https) - e.g. Standard Bank. I have no such problems when I'm connected through ADSL. I also cannot check my email unless I replace the POP server name pop.****.co.za with the IP address. Seems like either a DNS or a port blocking problem (btw I have turned my firewall off, just incase).
EDIT: Placed a call to Vodacom data support, after initially being told that the problem must be at my end, I was then told that they are busy with software upgrades in some areas, and that I need to connect to the unrestricted APN to solve this problem. I'm waiting for that to be activated, but surely new 3G users are not all having to request and change to a different APN just to check email and access secure sites????
