3G network connection

[Paul Foster]

I get the feeling I'm missing something on my e2. I had a 3G network connection set up on the device from new - but I don't have any 3G hardware in it - do I?

What's the story here?

I have the model 02 with integrated sprint ev-do card. I would like to share my 3g connection with my standard laptop from time to time. I have tried using internet connection sharing and a crossover Cat5e cable from the OQO to my standard laptop but am having trouble configuring it to work. When I click on explorer or firefox on my laptop, My sprint dial-up connection dials and connects to the sprint network on my OQO so I think the internet connection sharing feature is working fine. But I still can't get out to the internet from my laptop (keep getting 'connection timed out' errors on my laptop browser. The Browser on OQO continues to access internet without a problem though. I followed the instructions on the following link: http://mobilesociety.typepad.com/mobile_life/2006/08/how_to_share_yo.html

Does anybody have any suggestions on what else I might try to get it to work?? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

In the US, the model 02 has EVDO for 3G wireless connection. I'm not sure what OQO's plans for 3G are in Europe, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're working on something 3G there.
