Mine works fine with just the driver download from the manufacturer and the above settings.

There are some problems with pages stalling and I have to disconnect and then connect again, but this is intermittent - if annoying.

Do Optus have a proxy server? Sometimes that can help these issues?

All i can suggest is you read this page
http://trevorlong.com/pc-to-mac-in-90-days_697.shtml

it was an updated version, which was supplied by sources at Optus - but note the wireless product is NOT YET SUPPORTED on MAC, so you are doing all this at your own risk.

Sorry!

Hi Trevor. Your guidance on this page has been invaluable!

I changed from Telstra to Optus 3 days ago and still neither my mobile nor my mobile broadband on laptop work..... I believe I've set it up on my Mac os x 10.4 laptop perfectly. It connects, authenticates and then disconnects, telling me to check my ppp settings. Which I've checked and they are fine. The log tells me it times out sending the config requests... I drove into the CBD (takes 2.5 hours each time) and tried it there (and at several optus stores) and got same message so it's not an issue of being in the country.

The delightfully useless Optus technical help people have at least confirmed that at their end my account looks activated and AOK. Any ideas, advice or help appreciated!

Yeah, i've checked & tried everything under the sun.

The only thing that seems to get rid of the problem is deleting the browser cache history, which would be a pain to do it all the time.

This doesn't happen if I use Vodafone's connection, so i think its something to do with Optus' APN 'Connect', i have Optus mobile data which uses the 'internet' APN and the problem doesn't occur, but I can't use the mobile data APN because its not tied to the data account..

Mark : Interesting, to be honest I haven't been using it THAT much. I got it going but since then have only done the odd speed test and experiment with it.

Interesting problem, you sure you don't have any proxies setup, or Google web accellerator etc?

Thanks
Trevor

Hi,

I saw your post, I just signed upto the Optus Wireless Broadband using the E220 modem a few days ago.

I have a weird 'caching' issue where when I surf webpages, particularly forums, etc., when I mark something as 'read' and click on my subscriped topics, the thread doesn't actually dissappear off the list, and this happens vice versa.

This appears to be related to the Optus APN 'connect' because when I use the Optus APN 'internet' or Vodafone's APN 'internet' this doesnt happen.

Have you been experiencing something similiar (or maybe you haven't noticed?) Let me know if you'd like a detailed explanation.

Cheers.

Mark, Melbourne
