Hi there 
Well, the problem is this: I have a 3G stick modem from a certain ZE Corporation (a New Zealandish company IIRC) and the modem's model is MF195... I believe.
Anyway, the problem is that when I connect it to the internet it connects without any issue, but I can't access any page. I keep getting the common "problem loading page" message.
I went with this stick modem back to the service where I got it from some 2 years ago and they inserted it into their computer and BAM! Worked like a charm! Then I came back home to my new (Windows 8.1) computer and the same problem occurred: no damn page can be accessed.
Despite of my little knowlegde about computers, networks, and OS I dare predict that it's not something hardware related, but more likely OS related?? I mean, the modem's software installs correctly, the device is detected from the get-go, it connects to the internet from the first try, it even shows packets being transmitted from and to the internet, it just won't access any bloody page. Tried with AVG disabled, tried restarting the computer, tried uninstalling/reinstalling the device, tried all of the browsers I have installed on my PC (latest mozilla, latest IE, latest Opera, and Avant browser) it just won't work and I can't figure out what the issue is. Oh, I tried it on my desktop (Win 8) PC, on my work (Win 8) laptop, and both on my cousin's desktop (Win XP) PC, and Win 8 laptop. It simply won't work
Also, sorry if this is the wrong thread, but it seemed the most appropriate one to me. If it's wrong sub-forum just tell me where to post and I'll repost this question there.
And last but not least I won't give you my RIG because I don't see how that's important. But, if you need it badly let me know and I'll add it.
Whew! That was some typing
Anyways, awaiting for your kind and knowledgeable answers cause I am 1000% sure there are smarter people than me on this forum when it comes to electronics 😀
Cheers!
