OK, I understand the device better and the problem ( which is actually a Windows thing... ). Seems you've found something that won't work in Parrallels, but might with BootCamp. I think you said you were going to try BootCamp, also. Again, Parrallels does have problems accessing some hardware features and they are "working on that". Not that that helps much, right now.

Please let us know if using BootCamp helps, even if it does kill the Mac OS. :sad:

So, any takers on how to get XP, running on the Intel Mac under Parrallels or BootCamp, to recognize the 'phone' dongle, so terry doesn't have to carry a PC only notebook?

Hey Guys, thanks for all the help. Ms. Terry really appreciates it. To clarify a bit. This nice Macbook, purchased new in August has built-in wireless if you are at a hot spot. However, and this is the cool part, this thing works everywhere there is a cell tower. It has a cell phone number. Now, for the hard part. It works fine as long as I stay in Mac. But I must use Windows XP for work. Thanks, Terry

Did some quick searching and it sounds like the 720 thing is a 'dongle' that attaches between you internet connection and the computer! That may mean that Parrellels won't be able to use it, since it is limited in what hardware it is allowed/can access. Boot Camp may be the only alternative on the Mac side. Here's a short thread at <MacNNForms> discussing if, in fact, it is the same device you have.

Is <this> what you're talking about?

I'm afraid the only thing I can do is say Welcome Aboard, terry! Hope you find this place as friendly as I do!

And I assure you, if anyone has had any experience with that device, they'll be along to share it with you.

Now, you did a wonderful job of making the thread title very detailed ( so much better than some which simply say "HELP!" ). But perhaps you can add even more info in another post. For instance, is the Verizon USB720 actually the wifi device and your DSL modem? I know there are people here who use non-Apple wireless routers, hopefully they can also help with this one. Is it actually a DSL wireless modem/router combination?
