HUAWEI E220 connection problem

Huawei E220 USB modem


I cannot get my USB modem to connect. I got Aspire one Blue, and I am using the downloaded Mobile partner from Acer web site.
after opining the mobile partner and connecting the USB modem the following messages appears:

first: [Device found. please wait]

few seconds later ... [the device has been disconnected or is unavailable].

I have obtained all the sittings from provider and the modem is definitely working in other computers.

if any one can help please let me know

thanks

Louis

 

hi is your modem on the three network if so take it to the 3 shop the staff should be able to get it to work for you. i have the same dongel e220 and it works better on linpus lite than windows xp.

 

I get the same with mobile partner.
Mine is an E156G on 3 which shows as E220 using LSUSB and dmesg on an AAO
Mobile partner never shows a connection
Connection manager shows the 3g as 'OFF' (which maybe was my mistake - I clicked the radio button and it won't switch on again).
It can be 'seen' from the 'taskbar' icon when right clicking on connection.
any suggestion before I nuke the AAO?
thanks for your help

 

Got a step nearer using the earlier post on setting up mobile partner for 3 UK
I have given mobile partner a profile and got a redial on connection
The antenna on mobile partner I suspect may be a clue due to the poor location for mobiles here
Many thanks to all who have spent so much time posting their successes
