Modem tethering with Windows Vista

[mbial]

Hello all,

I'm having a problem with Windows Vista...I can't install my PPC-6700 as a usb modem. Oddly, this worked on older beta builds of Vista, but no longer works. When I plug the phone into the computer with wmodem running, the device is identified as a generic serial device. when I point vista to the driver .inf file, install begins but then craps out with the error cannot find file. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
MJB

Found a solution. Download the attached inf file to use with Windows Vista. It has been altered from the original version.

I just tried the CDMA_USB_Driver with my T-Mobile MDA on Vista Business and it works just fine. With the other versions of the usb modem drivers I had also been getting the "file not found" error but this one work just fine

its offical this driver does work for vista whereas the original did not. Why my BT card comes in i will probably use that since from what i read it works better than usb in vista but for now this will be fine

Running into the same problems, Might sound crazy but where do I put the *.inf file?

Also, is there a new file to upload to the phone to get it to work?

Thanks.

Mine works fine with Vista Ultimate. In order to get it to work, make sure that you have no bangs in device manager. Connect the phone to the computer and it should detect it as new hardware. Once the new hardware wizard comes up point it to the usb file. It should install the modem after that. Once that is completed go into network connections and setup a dial up connection for the phone. Use #777 as the number to dial. that way when you start the usb modem on your phone, you connect to your system. Click on connect to, and then dial. It should connect without any issues..also if you do not already have it, download and install windows mobile device center for vista. This is the new app that is replacing active sync. Once installed it will recognize and sync with your phone

Is there any charges for this if you have the unlimited data plan?
