my internet connection uses a 3g USB plug-in modem. I now wish to connect another machine via wireless networking, and have bought an Option Globesurfer 3g HSPDA. I expected this to have a USB port, but it requires insertion of SIM card. This bit is ok, and the quick set up appears straightforward. The problem comes because the ISP requires a pin code typed into its software. However, when Globesurfer shows " enter pincode at PC", the software will not allow it, because it cannot see the SIM! Please help - I am not usually stupid, but I cannot see a way around this! TIA Kim
