connecting laptop to net via c500

[Guest jet5354]

i'm using the c500 with usb cable to connect to laptop.

i've installed the htc modem driver and i have +cgdcont=1,"IP","orangeinternet","",0,0 in the modem initialisation string and i've created a dial up connection which dials *99#.

when i go to connect, it does seem to dial out and the icon above the reception changes to two little arrows, but when it's verifying username and pw it just hangs then disconnects me after a little while.

i don't actually have an username or pw set though :oops: but from reading all the various connecting your orange spv to the net threads it never says that you need to set it.

any one know what the problem could be?

thanks in advance.
