I recently began to change from Vodafone to Telecom for my internet data needs while traveling around NZ in my motorhome and I would like to be able to connect from my computer through a Vodafone R208 I own to the internet.

I purchased a Telecom data plan (3gig at the moment for $60pm), the store rep fitted the new sim into the R208 and said he was able to access the internet through it from his smartphone.

But, when I use the R208 with my computer I see that I have good signal from Telecom and that my computer has connected but it will not pass data.  My Win 7 Network and Sharing Center confirms connection but 'No Internet'.

A call to Telecom support failed to resolve the issue - possibly because the support rep failed to call me back as promised. Support was helpful as possible but I could see that being asked to provide Telecom support when a Vodafone device was being used was not run of the mill for her.

What do I ( a newbie to wifi ) need to do to use my R208 with my computer?

Thanks
