Hi Does anyone know of any advanced parameters that can be set for a native Windows 7 Mobile broadband connection? I have already used the Mobile Broadband customisation guide to package a new default connection profile for our devices & this is working well. What I'm interested in any configurable registry or netsh parameters (I know there is nothing GPO related yet!). One thing we have had an issue with is timeouts when authenticating to our private APN - I wonder if there is a parameter to increase the default? Any info welcome, thanks Douks

Hi Douks, How did the time out error receive? What is the detailed symptom? You may check if you issue meets the scenario in the following KB article: When you resume a computer that is running Windows 7, WWAN devices do not automatically connect to the target 3G network Note: this hotfix is also contained in the Windows 7 Service Pack 1.

Thanks Sabrina Most of the time it all works fine, however problems occur occasionally even though device set to auto connect in MBN profile... 1. Doesn't connect automatically even though connection available & can be initiated manually (yellow sun/star on connection icon in notification area) 2. Connection fails to establish (dont have exact error, but will capture next time it occurs). Manually re-connecting fixes issue. Clients are SP1 already, but I will check the file versions from KB975851 match what we're running. Thanks againDouks

Hi Douks, Did you install the latest driver for it and make sure that all the devices are updated especially for chipset and BIOS? Please check this issue in Clean Boot. And did you find any error or information in the Event Log? · Event Log ======================== 1. Click "Start", input "eventvwr" (without quotation marks) in the Search bar and press Enter. 2. Right click on "Application" on the left frame, choose "Save Log file As"; in the pop-up window, click to choose the Desktop icon on the left frame, input "app" in the "File name" blank, and then click “Save”. 3. Right click on "System", with the same method, save it as "sys". 4. Locate the two saved log files on the Desktop and send them to us.

Hi, I'm following this thread too.. and from resume on sleep this applies to me here, You have a computer that is running Windows 7. The computer has a wireless wide-area network (WWAN) device that connects to a 3G network. When you resume the computer from sleep or from hibernation, the WWAN device cannot automatically connect to the 3G network. Exactly. After sleep the WWAN device is 'disabled by Device Manager' - and then after several seconds - 'device is initializing' - most times it will then manually connect. but occasionally it fails to initialize and wants to reset the WWAN adaptor first - and then reconnects the WWAN thereafter. Also on waking from sleep the Wi-Fi IS connected every time. (i've a mobile broadband SIMcard in a 32bit Win7 Home Premium running on a HPmini 5102 netbook - latest drivers for the mobile broadband installed) I also cannot seem to get sound on the MobileBroadband device so SMS notifications can only be seen.. On full reboot, there are no connections available at all (Neither WWAN or Wi-Fi) - with a red X on the systray icon. Troubleshooting via Windows Network diagnostics only reconnects the Wi-Fi. The mobile broadband needs manual reconnection of the WWAN. btw great tips above! I'll go review Drivers etc and see if I need the Hotfix to correct this problem too. Thank you, pkn2011

Hello, when I said.. "On full reboot, there are no connections available at all (Neither WWAN or Wi-Fi) - with a red X on the systray icon." I've managed to correct this part of the problem by disabling and then uninstalling the HP Drive encryption software on the HD, the HPmini 5102 just couldn't handle the added processing. This has also fixed the boot-up sounds being glitchy too. (and probably other things I haven't noticed as yet..) Once the OS is loaded though - I still need to manually connect the WWAN however.. Thanks, pknIf my post was helpful - give it a Vote. If it helps solve your problem - propose it as Answer. ;-)
