        <description><![CDATA[Ok.. I'm facing somewhat a similar prob it seems... My dongle is Huawei e220 an unlocked one from Three Mobile and using it with Airtel Sri Lanka. It worked all ok for a while ,like a month, and now i get disconnected continuously and now i cannot connect at all! I get the error msg ''NO SIM/USIM OR SIM/USIM ERROR''. I wonder whether this is a driver prob or a firmware prob? Please help me sort this prob out...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Hi people on 3g I would like to point out the obvious and tell you to copy and paste the contents of the 3g modem (Virtual Cdrom)to a folder named &quot;3g modem - Do Not Delete&quot; like mine! then if something should go wrong, uninstall the 3g modem software from add/remove programs and reinstall from the folder named &quot;3g modem - Do Not Delete&quot; and you will be able to start again, (I goofed) apart from human error this was all straight forward stuff and well recomended. 10/10 JakBurn]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Hi I had exactly the same problem having unwittingly upgraded firmware to the Vodafone version. Whilst you can't reverse this process, you can do it again with the *correct* patch. It worked for me on XP Pro and the the next day installed itself with no extra downloads on my Vista HP at work. You will need to follow the config instructions, basically: new profile- any name set IP to  static and  APN to three.co.uk. It's all in the original post. Works perfectly for me and the mobile connection is faster than my landline connection. Good luck, Howard]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[William, I would go for it, it does work OK if you follow the instructions about the new profile etc precisely. Though how much better is debatable. If you downloaded from the links in line 1 of the download instructios they are from about December07. There are later ones, Sept08, from the Australian site which you will find in the link embedded in the paragraph starting &quot;Following a thread of comments...&quot; I'm about to try those. Good luck. Nik.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This article you wrote really helped me out.I made the mistake of 'updating' my modem firmware. It turned out to be something called MOBILE PARTNER. Needless to say, it didn't go well.I still am unsure of doing this update from the 3 services Australia site with the new 3 dashboard/ firmware though. I have downloaded and installed the new 3 e220 modem firmware to my modem, but have yet to run the setup as per instructions. I am worried that if I uninstall the original silver and blue interface software from my computer and replace it with the downloaded and installed software from the 3 services Australia site, I won't be able to connect again. Am I over worrying? Or should I take a leap of faith and go ahead and do it? The new shiny orange and blue front end looks the business, but I'm still unsure.Please advise...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I have seen this on O2 Dongles too, another issue I am having is when the device is inserted into some (not all) XP systems, the device starts to install, the CDRom appears, the CDROM disappears and then never comes back again as it does so on a working system. It appears to me there is a problem with the hooking of the composit driver, and I have tried everything including clearing out all reg enties for USB devices, uninstalling piles of sofware, yet the problem persists, even rule out my machine by reinstalling a fresh copy of XP, then the device installs correctly and works!!!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Hi JustinMany thanks for this post, I've gone through all the steps above but when the new connection manager launches the 'connect' tab is greyed out so I can't even attempt to connect to anything. I'm able to create a new profile and used the one you suggested but it still won't work. The USB itself doesn't have a solid green light, it flashes twice intermittently. I'd really appreciate any ideas on this?ThanksSue]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Well the solution provided sounds good apart from that APN, caz the APN three.co.uk may not be proviosned on HLR(home location register), u may need to confirm wat is the APN provisioned on ur number. Three primarily work with two APN, one of them has been mentioned in the solution and the other one is &quot;3intrenet&quot; case senstive. On some of number both may be provisoned.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I must say I???ve read with interest the post, and subsequent thread. Bought my payg on Wed, and problems!!Before I flash I just wanted to confirm I am suffering from issues which the flash will cure?I live in a marginal area. 3g on one side of the house, and 2g on the other. On 3G I can connect, browse the internet, and VPN etc etc. It does drop occasionally, but I put that down to the weak signal.But when I???m on 2G, for some reason I am unable to browse!! I can connect, and even establish a VPN to my server and sync Outlook. I can obviously browse via the vpn, but then that is via my server and it???s internet connection.Disconnect the VPN, and nothing. Website sometimes found, and if so waiting for reply. I???ve never had a page display on 2G. I can ping a site OK but no IE response. Seems to be the same on both Vista and XP.Any similarities to others?RgdsAndy]]></description>
