Error: Connection Gets Dropped (Windows® 2000 and XP)

When attempting a data connection with Sprint Mobile
Broadband, the connection gets dropped as soon as it is
established. (The status goes from “Connecting” and
“Connected” back to “Click ‘GO’ to Connect.”)

Reinstalling the Device Driver

There is a device driver for each supported operating system.
Unless the appropriate driver for your version of Windows or
Macintosh is installed, you will not be able to establish a
network connection with your device. This section provides
instructions on verifying that you have the correct device driver
installed.
