    Hi All,

    I'm really hoping for a bit of help here.

    My M2400 is not cooperating at all. Our corporate IT runs CheckPoint Securemote VPN software, and ControlPoint has an issue with it. Crashes out the VPN service if you install both.

    I've also tried the 910 5530 3G card software, but there is no obvious way to make it work on O2 network in the UK.

    ControlPoint is proving to be a right bugger - getting in the way of normal apps, and is just too heacy, clunky, and awful for words. Hope Dell didn't pay for it.... The fingerprint software is also proving highly crappy... (crashes, complex interface, etc..)

    Any tricks to try? Getting VPN and 3G to work together is priority...

    Cheers, and thanks

    Vista x86 ultimate, 4GB RAM, 250GB disk free fall sensor, etc.

    See this thread.

    Also, if using the ControlPoint Connection Manager, make sure you download and install the most recent version.

    Thanks - but that was what I meant by the bit about "I've also tried the 910 5530 3G card software, but there is no obvious way to make it work on O2 network in the UK."

    Or am I missing something with that software and just not seeing how to make it use non-vodafone connections?
