Microsoft Windows Vista

The Windows Vista software needs to be downloaded separately, preferably BEFORE inserting the device for the first time. The software that's on the 'virtual CD-ROM' does not work on Windows Vista.

To obtain the latest version of the software, visit http://www.vodafone.nl/zakelijk/mobiel_werken/Mobiel_werken_met_laptop/Support/Algemeen, but you can also download a local copy (from within Nikhef) from http://www.nikhef.nl/grid/ndpf/files/VodafoneMC/.

Then:

  • install the software (with Administrative rights)
  • plug in the USB modem
  • launch the Vodafone Mobile Connect tool and wait for the device to be recognised by Windows
  • in the Main window, press "Connect"

Note that the connection only does IPv4, no IPv6, and that you get a private 10.x.x.x address with NAT. But it's sufficient to create the VPN tunnel back to schrepel.
