    Hey guys,has this ever happened to anyone before? when I go into my network and sharing center I can't seem to "view status" of my modem,like the pic below.
    I used to be able to do this and now its gone,I dunno when it happened either.

    Sorry I probably should have put that up
    So basically I no options listed for the connection tab,no "disconnect" or "view status",view status definately used to be there..

    As a workaround I'm pretty sure you can click on Manage network connections to the left-hand side of the Window and then double-click on the 3 USB Modem to see its status. :)

    in come cases on XP some 3G modems can get snotty if you use them in a different USB port to where they were first installed on (go figure)

    That's a bit unusual that the dial up connection doesn't exist for the 3 modem in the network connections window. Does the same thing happen when you uninstall and reinstall the modem and software?

    The reason you can't see the properties of the connection is because no connection exists. My guess is, either it was deleted from the network connections or didn't install correctly.

    Ya I think thats whats causing it,I remember I uninstalled for some reason and not long after I re-installed it I noticed the problem.I'll know for sure when I re-install it again,thanks.
