    Hey all,

    I have recently installed Windows 7 on my XPS 16 and I absolutely love it! The only problem I have is that I can't seem to get the Dell 5530 3G WWAN card to connect to Vodafone UK. Has anyone successfully got this card working under Windows 7? If so what drivers/software are you using?

    I had it working fine under Vista using a dial up connection but it won't connect under Windows 7. Not sure if its a driver issue or my connection details.

    Any help is muchly appreciated!


    EDIT: After hours of trolling the net I managed to fix this by using the Dell Erricson Connection Manager Application. Vista 64bit drivers seem to work ok too.
