Hi

Can anyone help me with the following steps on how to set the Internet up via cellphone as your modem & the 3g card as your modem?

I want to connect the usb stick 3g card as wireless internet to the pc but it doesnt want to connect. I tried my phone as well same thing.

bought the sim cards as well as data for it the weekend But didnt have much time to play around.

im sure here some guys that can do it close eyes so your help will be much appreciated?

Thanks

u cant really ...if it works then cool otherwise it will never work on vista ...i've been doing it for years now and only ever had normal vodafone or mtn 3g working on 1vista laptop ....ever....but if ur pc @ home has xp then u can install it on there shouldnt have issues ....try using a cable first when installing the setup just 2 make sure that it gets setup properly and then u can worry about bluetooth dongles and s*** like that

is there no way to unstall vista? dont laugh thats just a question. & xp can you just get he program for it or what?


as for 3g cards you'll have to shop around it normally about R249 but sometimes you can get it with a nice laptop bundle as well

Post subject:  Re: wire less usb & cellphone connection
@ Ellie ----sorry 2 say lupi but i find that mtn's 3g is far better reception /signal strength wise so even if they are abit more expensive(not sure) i would go for mtn

@ A31 wp ----Technically speaking u should get a vista downgrade lic. and that means that u have 2 wipe off everything off the laptop again and then load xp ....problem is with the latest laptops that u dont find xp drivers for the hardware sometimes ...dont worry bra i'll never laugh @ a some1 in need of help .....this is why i said 2 u let me have a look for u....maybe on saturday i can come around 2 ur place ...jy bly mos innie hel ne :?: :?:
