Hi all,

My T60p+WinXPSP2 does not pick up the e220 device.

The software installation appears to have worked fine.

After starting the control panel there is a very brief dialog that pops up saying something about "Data Card Invalid" and the "Connect" button stays grayed out.

I'ved tried to uninstall, reinstall the software but without any success.

The modem&software works fine on an HP laptop and the modem even works on a Mac laptop.

I really need to get this working on the T60p to be able to do remote support for my job.

Can anyone please help!

Hi. I use a IMB Thinkpad R52 with XPSP2 and sometimes have the exact same thing happen to me "Data Card Invalid". Although i have a Hauwei E620.

Dont know if its just some fault with IBM's or with SP2 but usually what i do is eject my card, then put it back in and after that works fine.

Hope it works out :D

Hi acidrain,

I got it working. I disabled the internal modem and that seems to have fixed it.

Must be honest I didn't expect those to clash.

Happiness is. :)
