I also had to remove/reinsert the dongle a few times before it recognised it as the E172 once I got the software installed. The 64-bit version was, quite literally, 'Run the beta3 installer, set the APN to Internet, connect' though.

I downloaded the software ( not sure it was the correct on as it keeps refering to E220/E270) I cannot seem to get this working at all. Could you possibly give me all the steps you did to get this working. I'll need a bit more than " APN: Internet (with a capital “I”)" Thanks in advance Wayne Hi,

I was interested in your post concerning the E172 vodafone USB dongle.
I downloaded the software ( not sure it was the correct on as it keeps refering to E220/E270)
I cannot seem to get this working at all.
Could you possibly give me all the steps you did to get this working. I’ll need a bit more than ” APN: Internet (with a capital “I”)”

Thanks in advance

Wayne
