Set Up Network Connections

After connecting the phone to your computer, you now need to set up a network connection to access the Internet at broadband speed. Click on the "Start" button and select "Control Panel". Double-click on "Network Connections". From the panel on the left, click on "Create a new connection". Windows will greet you with the "New Connection Wizard" as shown in the screen shot below. Click the "Next >" button to continue.

Windows will ask you about the "Network Connection Type". Select "Connect to the Internet" (see screen shot below). Click on the "Next >" button to continue.

In the "Getting Ready" dialog box , select "Set up my connection manually" (see screen shot below). Click on the "Next >" button to continue.

In the "Internet Connection" dialog box, choose "Connect using a dial-up modem" (see screen shot below). Click on the "Next >" button to continue.

In the "Select a Device" dialog, check the "Modem - HTC USB Modem". Uncheck all other modem devices that may also show up in the list (see screen shot below). Ignore the "(COM4)" that showed up on my computer. It could be a different COM port on your computer. Click on the "Next >" button to continue.

In the "Connection Name" dialog box, type in any connection name that you are comfortable with. I use "Verizon Wireless Broadband" to indicate that this is a connection through the Verizon Wireless EV-DO service. Click on the "Next >" button to continue.

In the "Phone Number to Dial" dialog box, type in "#777" as shown in the screen shot below. Click on the "Next >" button to continue.

In the "Internet Account Information" dialog, uncheck the only two check boxes (see screen shot below). They are "Use this account name and password when anyone connects to the Internet from this computer" and "Make this the default Internet connection". Leave the "Username" and "Password" fields blank. Click on the "Next > button to continue.

Now you are all done. In the final dialog box, you have the option to "Add a shortcut to this connection to my desktop" (see screen shot below). When you do, you will be able to easily access the network connection conveniently. Click on "Finish" to complete your dial-up set up.
