Has anyone got a resolution to the issue when installing Vodafone Mobile Connect (VMC) software on a Vista machine?

Whenever the VMC software is installed on a Vista machine none of the other network connections can obtain a DHCP IP address - Wifi or Ethernet.

As soon as the software is uninstalled the network connections can once again obtain an IP address.

I am using the latest VMC software Version: 9.1.2.5766 and can replicate the issue on any number of machines, Sony, HP Toshiba.

Vista SP1 does not resolve the issue either.

Cheers
Paul

Are you using the new Huawei card or the old Novatel?

The type of card seems to be irrelevant as I have tried using an older Merlin U630 and a newer XU870.  The cards work fine its just that the VMC software seems to prevent any other type of network connection from obtaining an IP address via DHCP.  If I uninstall the VMC software the other network connections start working again and I can still use the Datacard as a modem - just loose the VMC interface that my clients have been using on their old XP machines.

yep download the one from overseas, the one VFNZ supply seems to (by-design) disable your WiFi etc

When I rang them they told me to download a different version from http://www.mobilenetworks.co.nz/

Thank you to both of you.

I downloaded version 9.2.4.7868 and it works normally.

Its such a shame that Vodafone NZ still continues to post a version that is least 3 updates old (with known issues) but won't post the working one that they know about. Argh!
