Anyone Used the USB dongles for internet use ?
Got a T-Mobile 120 USB internet dongle for my mum,she is an internet virgin so doesnt need anything special etc so this was easiest,set it up,got the credit on it, sound
connect to internet via the connection software,bit like dial up software,connect to TMobile,sweet.
but no, most the time she gets page not displayed,yet has an IP address and i can remote to her machine over the internet, so its definately online yet i.e rarely works,without changing anything it will then work but then as you click a link the next page,yup,page not displayed
tried their help,no good,usuall bumph,make sure its online,pc uptodate etc.
i even got a load of extender leads and have the dongle near the window,darlin,so she gets 3 bars on the strength box
im not an internet guru but know my way around,cant find any settings that make any difference,wondering if some guru knows anything ????
any ideas ???
cheers

If you can remote desktop to the machine, then it sounds like the DNS settings? Although it seems unlikely if it is a new connection.
You can try using OpenDNS and see if that helps:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

well,i set the changes but on next connection it had reverted back to obtain dns and i.p automatically (dhc etc)
as i am making these changes remotely as she lives away etc,dunno if thats the fault but it says when i make the changes they wont be saved until next connection,but they are not,unless i have to make the settings without being connected (means a visit to her house) hmm ????
