Vodacom 3G I/Explorer

[Ady]

Can someone please help me, i'm at my wits end.

My Vodacom 3G Huawei E220 usb modem didn't load the drivers onto my machine when i first connected. I have since had Windows XP Pro reloaded and still no joy. A vodacom technician came to my house and took off the vodafone dashboard and installed Huawei mobile connect software.

I can now connect to the network, send and receive sms's and update my antivirus program etc... but when i click on browser or internet explorer my machine hangs. When i unplug the modem all the programs that were hanging open.

I'm running Win XP Pro.

Please help i feel like breaking the thing!!

Simple solution, don't click on the browser [Internet Exploder] button in HMC, use the normal quicklaunch or other method of launching Internet Exploder - even better to install Firefox or Opera, and then use one of those instead of Internet Exploder...

Hi IC

Thanks for the reply, you are the only person i have spoken to who thinks there is a simple solution. I still cannot get I/E to work. I followed your suggestion and downloaded Firefox and it works 100%! If you were close to me i would buy you a keg of beer.

Thanks again for the help, you seem to know more than most call centre agents at Vodacom and Microsoft.

Man, I just started using Firefox because of how much the forumites rave about it here. What a freakin pleasure. Nice job helping the guy out ic

I only use FF for browsing but still have to have IE for web design...

For those who have just started using FF, go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:1 to get addons/plugins to make FF better than it already is.

I'm having the same fault but on a much larger scale, any ideas?
