t-mobile usb modem and mac
I have a two-year old usb modem from T-mobile and thought it would be a hassle to upgrade/connect etc, but decided to give it a go at last.
First, you have to download launch2net software on the Mac. This should have been an easy task but I forgot my admin password, so had to reset that. To reset the admin password, I had to find my install dvd, insert that and press C on the keyboard when I heard the startup noise. After waiting an age (for a Mac), the options came up. Choose English, then choose Utilities from the top and Reset password. Phew!
I had a problem with the Keychain password and in the end, went to Keychain admin and deleted the Appleid keychain references. Fingers crossed that will be all I need to do.
Plugged in the modem, Launch2net did its work and voila! Connected to the Internet!. However, I noted that I only had the demo version so went to the T-mobile site: http://tm.feedbacklab.com/display/support/Launch2Net+software+for+the+web%27n%27walk+USB
to download full version. Tried installing that, but this version has a problem launching and quits. So back to the demo version for now until I can contact T-mobile...
