Hi Michael:
Yea I have the latest and greatest drivers. I tried Sprint,Toshiba(my
laptop) and even a German made generic broadband software (NWCom). The issue
might be that for some reason I either don't have the rights (tried as
administrator as well) or for some reason can't create a new connection in
the Network control panel. I had a friend try it on their Dell Vista laptop
and it worked fine for them.
I am a bit puzzled, I tried going to DOS and changing the Attributes for
the Windows directory but they were already set to A so I didn't bother
pursuing that path.
