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!

Unable to connect using Wireless Broadband Card EVDO 3G Sprint or Verizon

Asked by hu8mypho in Broadband Internet, PCMCIA Laptop Interface, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: error, 720, sprint, verizon

Hi experts,

I've been tearing my hair and spending countless hours on the phone and going to stores trying to get this resolved.  

I have trying to get a (any) 3G Wire Area Wireless service working on my laptop.  So far I have used 4 different Verizon Card, 2 type II PCMCIA cards (Kyocera PC650, Pantech PC6740 (or something ) memory dump, BSOD..., I don't recall exact error, don't want to try it again right now, but I sure can recreate the problem if neccessary), ExpressCard Novatel V740, and whatever the USB one is, these I actually get all the way installing and initiating card, fails at trying to connect to network , error 913.  I have contacted support, went all the way through network, they analyzed my packets and indicated that I was succesful authenticating but there was a request from my system to disconnect.   (this error I get using VZaccess Manager.  

I even tried creating the PPP connection using #777 , id = phone#@vw3g.com, pwd = vzw, getting error #20,  a connection to the remote computer could not be established.

Verizon saids that the problem is my system.  I was skeptical at first, but wanted to test my theory, so I tested my card on other people's systems... what do you know works.   the PCMCIA Type II, ExpressCard, and USB all worked on other peoples system (multiple for different interfaces) ,  but not on mines.  

Being a skeptical person that I am, I even went to buy a Sprint Pantech PX500 card, I get Error #720 error.  

So i'm pretty sure that it's my system, but I don't know what the problem is, or could be.  I'm stump!!!!

Please help.  

On a side note, I previously attempted to use my mobile phone as a modem via tether and bluetooth pairing and was getting error #720, so that's why I have to resort to getting a broadband card.
