Hi all, in advance I appreciate any help I can get.
The problem: My PC does not have a wireless card, I never bothered with one as my router was right next to my PC at home. Now, I have moved my pc to a different building which does not have WiFi.
I acquired a USB dongle to use to connect online. Its a HUAWEI HiLink dongle with an o2 sim card.
The device comes listed under "Dial-up and VPN". When I click on it I have to log in.then it comes up with " Error 651: The modem (or other connecting device) has reported an error."
Also I just topped up my account with a weeks worth of data last night.
I am sorry for improper formatting/grammar.

My signal is great and I have talked with the service provider and put a weeks worth of data on the sim card. The device installed drivers once I plugged it in. I can go online to the service providers website but when I click in the task bar to connect to the 3g dongle, it comes up with the error 651.
