The PC Card
option is the most common type of connection, while some phones support Bluetooth
data modem operation. For our project, choose the radio button for Data Cable and
then click the Next button.

Cellular Internet Connection to the Rescue 47
The wizard does not let you forget that it is important to ensure that the drivers
for your data cable-to-phone connection are installed. Though this warning, shown in
Figure 7-6, recommends that you cancel the VZAccess Manager installation process
to install the cable drivers, often you can simply connect the cable and your phone, let
Windows discover the new hardware, provide the drivers from a CD-ROM or downloaded
file, and then continue with this installation by clicking the Next button.
You will see a progress indicator (see Figure 7-7) as the installation process scans
every available communications port looking for a match to your cellular data cable
connection. Be patient as this can take 3??“5 minutes to complete before the next dialog
box appears.

to do drivers first,
connections second.
