[vpn-help] Windows Mobile Broadband Adapters ...

[Matthew Grooms]

All,

I have been working hard to bring support for the new Windows 7 mobile 
broadband adapters to the Shrew Soft client but have hit a road block. I 
can't find a carrier that supplies a broadband adapter that actually 
uses this new type of driver. So far I have tried out Cricket and AT&T 
adapters but they both show up as Dial-up connections. Consequently, 
these work fine with the current Shrew Soft client drivers. I had high 
hopes that the AT&T adapter would work since it was mentioned in the 
Microsoft document that describes building a test case for developing 
support for this new Mobile Broadband Adapter type ...

So, who has a real Windows 7 mobile broadband adapter? As described in 
the above document, when you click on the network VAN ( View Available 
Networks ) icon in the system tray, it would display under the Mobile 
Broadband Adapter section ( not the Dial-up and VPN section ) of the 
popup. If you do have such an adapter, what is the exact product model, 
driver version, and what US carrier do you use for connectivity? Until I 
find a working test case, I can't bring support for this new type of 
adapter to the Shrew Soft client.

Thanks in advance,
