It wasnt the dongle either because we tried two of them. It seems to block the software. I'm hoping I can get this to work, as it seems like a good option. Safer than using the wireless in the street or shops. John.

I went into the shop, and they allowed me to try installing the dongle with one of their SIM cards, and the dongle. Well, I was in there for about an hour, and it just wasnt having it. It would install the drivers, it kept on saying it couldnt find them, and it couldnt find the dongle either, even though, when I looked could see the files for the dongle. I even searched on the net, and found a few places that tried to explain how to install, and with the guy in there, we tried, but still we couldnt install the drivers. Has anybody any experience with these dongles, I would really like to get one.
