Verizon Wireless Card not working with Dell

I have 3 computers, 2 work with my verizon wireless card. My Dell suddenly stopped recognizing the wireless card... I thought it was the card slot on my dell but when I tested my friends AT&T wireless card it was recognized immediately! Through lots of trials etc. I have figured out that it is simply something to do with the Dell and the Verizon Wireless card (I have even tried 3 other Verizon cards, one of which is a USB type, the other 2 are PC cards, none work!) I've spend hours on the phone with Verizon downloading updated drivers etc. and they can't even figure it out! Any thoughts? The problem started in December, previously it worked perfectly!

Sim card not recognized

Barbara-

Some of the latest Verizon phones require a microSIM whereas the Droid Bionic requires a miniSIM. Please go to a Verizon corporate store where they can get you the appropriate size. It shouldn't cost you anything. Don't leave until they have it working.

I have an older computer that does not have a wireless card, but my internet is through a verizon um175 air card. i have gotten 10 different answers, and none work. 3 different answers from verizon alone...

Yes you can. Make sure that you disable DHCP in the lan settings section in the router. Use the computer without wireless card as the server, the router will be install in this computer. i have an air card with Sprint and I'm using Encore router and my Wii, and 3 more computer can connect without any problem.

Trying to hook verizon UM150 card to verizon wireless DSL Gateway

the UM150 wireless card goes into the computer.
however, the DSL need to be wired to your computer for initial configuration.
if you just hook up the DSL as verizon say, then you will have a open wireless network, anybody can get access to your network.

About my wireless card...

reset the network settings both on the computer and your router and start again. go to the website for your router and enter the ip or mac address for your wirless card and enable it on your network. to get your computer to recognise the network, turn off wireless, plug it in the local area connection first then for a few minnutes then enable the wireless and unplug the wire and it should recognise.

Wireless card not recognized

Make sure you are using the latest driver and software for the card. If you haven't already done so, I would also suggest trying the card in another computer, and a known good card in your D600, to see if the problem stays with your computer or follows the card. If it follows the card to another computer then it is most likely a problem with the card itself. If other known good cards also fail in your D600 it might be something with the D600 card slot. If the slot is the problem then I would recommend contacting Dell tech support. Larry Dell Customer Advocate
