Hello

I have an interesting issue here...

I got a dell e4200 used from someone, and it didnt have the wireless 3g card inside, so i went out and got one... i installed it, the computer and everything detects the card and installed the drivers accprdingly. I even installed them manual as well... I believe when the computer was first built it has never built with the card installed. however all the connections etc are there, including the pins for the SIM card and the wires for the antenna.

i have the sony ericsson mobile manager software to get it hooked up to the net... i have a valid SIM card installed under the battery.

My issue is, it refused to connect to the network... The PC sees the card, detects the card, the BIOs was updated and that sees the card and everything is turned on in the BIOs. However whenever i open the connection manager from SE, it says no broadband card installed, and when i go to view, information, it doesnt list an IMEI etc like as if that card isnt there. Yet in device manager, the PC clearly shows the card there and installed, and working correctly.

There are times when in the task bar where the wifi signal is there, i open that and see that the wireless network is listed there, i click that and it tries to connect but fails right away saying, connection error code 0 and i havent been able to find anything about that error...

im out of ideas where, i have tried everything, rolling back the drivers, installing the latest, removing the card, trying out different SIM cards. nothing is working.... can someone help?

Info:

Dell e4200

windows 7 ultimate

WWAN 5530 card unlocked.

not sure what else you might need to know, someone please help me figure this out...
