Hey Everyone,
I'm running Windows 7 on my system. In order to access the internet i'm using
Tata plug usb modem on my system. The problem is that i'm unable to access internet connection using Tata plug usb modem. Can any body tell me that why i'm unable to connect through internet using Tata plug usb modem? Do Tata plug usb modem supports Windows 7? Does any body knows about this issue? Kindly help me out to resolve the above problem? Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Plug 2 Surf is a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) device, and it comes in 2 options. One is a standard Plug 2 Surf and the other is Plug 2 Surf Whiz. The main difference between the 2 is that while the first supports only Windows OS (including Vista), the latter supports several OSes (including Windows OS) except for Vista.
RESOLUTION
STEP 1
Now, here is a trick. DO NOT PLUG IN THE HUAWEI V-DATA CARD. Without plugging the PCMCIA Card install the Huawei Mobile Connect Dialer. Then visit the following installed dialer location and copy the ‘Drivers’ folder to somewhere else say ‘Desktop.’ This folder contains the necessary drivers. After copying it, uninstall the Huawei Mobile Connect Dialer application since we copied the required drivers folder.
STEP 2
Now, PLUG THE HUAWEI V-DATA CARD in the PCMCIA slot, it will try to install the drivers but fail to install the drivers for the Data Interfaces. We will manually install the drivers for these Data Interfaces.
- Right click on ‘Data Interface’ in Other devices and click on ‘Update Driver’ and then click on ‘Browser my computer for driver software’
- In the next box select the location where you have copied the ‘Drivers’ folder. In the drivers folder select Vista for 32-bit. If you using Windows 7 x64 then select Vista-AMD64. Then click on ‘Next’ to install the drivers.
- After that you will get the message saying Updated Driver Software successfully for ‘HUAWEI Mobile Connect – 3G Modem’ Click on Close.
- Similarly, do the same procedure for 2nd Data Interface. Right click –> Update Driver –> Next. And it will install ‘HUAWEI Mobile Connect – 3G Application Interface’
- Now, in the Device Manager you can see both the drivers installed successfully.
STEP 3
Create a new Dial-Up connection. To do this Open up the ‘Networking and Sharing Center’ and click on ‘Set up a new connection or network’ and click on '’Next.’ On next page click on ‘Next.’
On next screen click on ‘Dial-Up’ and then on next screen click on ‘HUAWEI Mobile Connect – 3G Modem’
Now, fill up the information for the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
- For TATA INDICOM, fill up the following details.
- Dial-ip phone number: #777
- User Name: internet
- Password: internet
- Connection Name: TATA (This can be anything)
Click on Remember this Password and click on CONNECT. On next page you will get message ‘You are connected to the Internet'.’ Click on ‘Close.’
STEP 4
Create dialer shortcut on Desktop for quick access.
Open up the ‘Networking and Sharing Center’ and click on ‘Change Adapter Settings’ then Right click on ‘TATA' Dial-Up Connection’ and click on ‘Create Shortcut’; click on ‘Yes’ and it will create dialer shortcut on Desktop.
Double click on dialer to connect to internet or to disconnect the internet connection.
