Error: Connection Gets Dropped

When attempting a data connection with Sprint Connection
Manager, 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 Sprint Mobile Broadband
Express Card Driver

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