    Under Vista it's part of the computer management functionality, which is part of the administrative tools applet that can be found under the control panel menu. My guess is that it's in the same place for Win7.

    I don't know if you have access to the antenna but if you do can you check that and make sure they are seated correctly. Also, may be try swapping them around also.

    1. Delete the 3G connection in Network Connections (assuming XP). Reboot and try to reconnect through the WWAN utility.

    2. Uninstall/reinstall the WWAN utility. Look and see if there is a driver/utility update.
