unlocked a dongle but cant connect to new network?

Hi

I have a voda R207 which is a Huawei E5330 dongle originally purchased and locked onto Vodafone.

I got an unlock code and unlocked it by putting a 3 sim in and the voda page redirected me to an unlock page and accepted my code and say unlock successful etc.

However now when I connect my pc via the dongle it says it is connected but always defaults back to the vodafone mobile broadband homepage, where it tells me it is connected to 3.

Anyone know how I go into the modems software and change everything over to 3?

thanks

Rich

    Is it connected or not? If it is working, then what is the problem?
    If it isn't working, enter the correct APN and Username and Password (if necessary) and set it as the Default connection.

    Thanks for replying.

    Yes it is connected but when you open a webpage it defaults back to the vids dashboard, if you try connect to other page it says no internet connection.

    I'll look at the link now.

    Cheers
