    Hi everyone,
    After a clean install of windows 7, I'm trying to find the drivers for my VPCZ11X9E/B sim card device as well as the software (I believe it's Web to Go OneClick Internet).
    After some hours searching on the web I haven't find out any solution, can anyone help me?

    Thank you.

    Qualcomm Gobi 2000 is the "SIM card device" (normally called WWAN), you can find both the drivers and the connection manager on Sony's support site (where did you spend hours searching?? :D)

    Here are the links to those for Vaio S, I'm pretty sure they are the same packs, but you can certainly find them in the Z support section.

    You can use Windows 7, "OneClick Internet" or by creating a normal DialUp connection, using *99# as a telephone number.

    Web2go OneClick internet should be included in the software package "WWAN connection manager" (the second link).

    In my case, in Windows 7, when I enable WWAN, the network appears in the same wireless networks list as WiFi networks (that standard windows wifi try icon), I then click on it, choose connect and thats it, its very simple. I didnt have to setup anything at all.

    Exactly. OneClick on the other hand offers network specific predefined settings, data traffic statistics and control plus the ability to read and send SMSs through the SIM. It's a neat little program indeed.
