Just found this thread in another vista group -general-
Judoka,
I've made some progress where I've actually been able to install the driver
and have Vista reporting that the modem's driver is running properly. I am
however unable to connect to the Internet! Doh!
I, like you, have my modem showing up as a miniport driver but with "WAN"
before miniport. Is this what your PC is also showing? I have spent
considerable time troubleshooting my system to get it to connect to the
Internet, but have failed.
Any input would be appreciated.
Cheers.
