ok, i'll try a description of the issue as complete as i can remember (note there are 3 or 4 pieces of soft/firmware involved: the modem's firmware, the modem's drivers, GTConnect program and possibly the BIOS):
1. the problem starts with Win7 installation about a year ago - at this time, i was running the original GTConnect v2 (i dont know which modem drivers were being used) - the modem (GTM378) was recognized but kept disconnecting from the network - the problem is not with the 3G network (SFR in France) because if I use the Huawei external modem they provide it works fine...
2. I then installed GTConnect v3 provided by FSC (
http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/Download/ ... Networking), which includes its own v4 drivers - with that, the modem was not even recognized - not too surprising, as fsc warns that "Works, but no support and not tested for ESPRIMO Mobile U9200" (i remember posting that it had now been tested and that it didnt work)...
3. I recently found and installed a firmware update (2.5.13Hd) and now the modem is recognized but it keeps disconnecting as before, so we're back to problem 1...
Possible solutions:
- I know there exists a newer firmware, 2.5.17, but i havent been able to find it - however, i doubt this would solve the issue as the modem being recognized seems as a satisfactory condition for firmware...
- changing the modem to the newer GTM382? i called fsc france and the price is an outrageous 300 euros, not even being sure that this would solve the issue (but pls let us know myxal when you get yours, although you seem to imply that you're not under win7?)
- clearly, the issue seems to lie with the drivers, perhaps in relationship with the BIOS - of course i also tried the v4 directly provided by Option, which mentions that "For a system upgrade to Windows 7 (my case) you can use older drivers but for a new Windows 7 system you need these drivers" - not surprising that these dont work either as they're probably the same as those provided by fsc with the GTConnect v3 package...
Myxal, i dont know what you mean by "try using windows' own utilities" - i dont know of any windows modem drivers... you seem to be answering most posts... do you have any relationship with fsc? would you know how to get these infos through to their developpers?
