E220 issues

[w1z4rd]

Basically the modem drops about every 30 minutes or so. Not the connection... the whole modem. In windows you get the usb tone for hardware being unplugged and then plugged in again.

Same thing happens with linux.

I have tried two different modems, two different laptops and two different USB cables and two different OS`s and I seem to get the same thing happening to me.

Definitely seems like a hardware issue so i was wondering if anyone had come across this before.

Have you tried two different SIM cards from the same network or a SIM from another network?

Did we not see a similar post recently. Turned out to be the dial-up connection automatic-disconnect function that was turned on.

If it had just been Windoze, I would suspect a conflict problem with a Windoze Update, but since you're seeing it happens in Linux as well, it might be firmware related - what firmware version is your E220 loaded with?
