The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Verizon Wireless Air Card installation problems

Asked by Ditch_Doctor in Wireless Network Cards & Adapters, Wireless Technologies, Wireless Networking

Tags: Verizon software, wireless internet

I am attempting to simply install a verizon wireless air card (Pantech UM175) on a dell inspiron 8600.  I loaded the vz access manager software (version: 6.10.10-2247b)) from the cd, and then connected the air card.  Thats when problem started.....instead of loading the driver from the plug & play air card, it activated the windows new hardware installation wizard, and the vz software didn't recognize the air card.  I tried uninstalling & reinstalling the s/w several times, and checked the device manager & event viewer but couldn't find the culprit.  I called verizon tech support and after doing all the troubleshooting steps I had already done and the air card still not being recognized, they assumed the air card was bad and I went back to the verizon store and they replaced it.  They tried to install it in the store but had the same problem, so I brought it home and tried uninstalling norton internet security, and disabling the firewall but it did not help.  So I then tried testing the s/w & air card by installing it on a new laptop and it worked perfectly.  I re-examined the configuration on the original laptop and it's resources are consistant with the verizon s/w & h/w requirements - it has an intel centino mobile processor @ 1.5Ghz & 1GB of ram with integrated audio & video that has all passed benchmark testing.  The only thing I can conceive is that there is possible software that might be in conflict, except that verizon local head of tech support says that they have a rediculously low margin of s/w conflict that they see on a regular basis - almost never.  I've scoured all of the verizon tech support forums with no luck, so I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have.  Thanks....DD
