    Enjoy.

    Have you looked to see if there is a WWAN card installed? All CF-19 are wireless ready meaning, they have the antennas, sim slot and socket for the WWAN card. Remove the cover on the bottom nearest the sim slot and see if there is a card present. The EU spec will probably have a Novatel EU-740 or EU-870.

    Are you using the default profile? You may need to set up a new profile manually.

    Can you let me know your location/network provider and modem model number/type please?

    I have been having similar problems on my CF-19, http://forum.notebookreview.com/panasonic/622087-got-one.html

    I am just going over there now to update my progress with WIN7 but the problem I describe has been the same since I have owned it.

    Many thanks

    Tranquillo
