This is a howto for the geek in you :-). You can easily configure a [AT&T](http://www.att.com/?ref=kudithipudi.org) 3G Wireless card on your workstation using the [Communication Manager](http://www.wireless.att.com/businesscenter/solutions/wireless-laptop/software.jsp?wtLinkName=CommunicationManager&wtLinkLoc=LN&WT.svl=5&ref=kudithipudi.org) software provided by AT&T.. But then I have always been against using bloated software for something you can configure on your own.

I recently got a 3G card at work and needed to install it on my laptop. I figured that the AT&TÂ provided software was just setting up a dial-up connection with specific settings. Guessing that some Linux geek might have already figured out what the settings where, I used the following search term in [Google](http://www.google.com/?ref=kudithipudi.org) “Linux Ubuntu Configure AT&T 3G card”.. Lo and behold, the following link showed up [http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2008/12/07/how-to-use-an-att-ericsson-f3507g-card-on-ubuntu-intrepid/](http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2008/12/07/how-to-use-an-att-ericsson-f3507g-card-on-ubuntu-intrepid/?ref=kudithipudi.org).

Here are the steps, I follwed to configure the card in Microsoft Vista

- Insert card into the laptop and use the “search online” feature for installing the required drivers.
- Open “Network and Sharing Center”.
- Click on “Setup up a connection or network”.
- Choose “Connect to the Internet” option and click on Next.
- If you are already connected to the Internet, you will get a message stating the same, but choose the “Setup a new connection anyway”.
- If you already have existing dial-up or DSL connections, choose “No, create a new connection” and click on Next
- Choose “Dial-up”
- Choose the modem related to your 3G card.. For example, mine was “Sierra Wireless AirCard 875 HSDPA Modem”
- Enter the following information in the ISP Information  
  - Dial-up phone number : \*99#
  - User name : \*
  - Password : \*
  - Connection Name : Whatever you want to name it
