I have an annoying installation problem with a USB Broadband Modem under
Vista (Model: ZTE MF-622)

The modem installed itself OK, including it's own software control panel,
but everytime I click "Connect" to connect to the ISP ('3' Network in the
UK), Vista detects a totally new network, and pops up the "New Network
Connection" dialog to select a location for the new connection. I have turned
off the notification of new networks, but it still creates a new connection
profile everytime I connect.

I now have '3', '3 2', '3 3', '3 4', '3 5', '3 6' and I'm still counting.....

How do I stop this behaviour before my Registry completely fills up with
Network Profile Entries?

I have this same problem with my Alltel USB broadband modem. Every time
it is removed and reconnected it creates another network connection. I
am not in the 60's now, what is the long term effect of this on my
computer? Can the network connection count be reset?

Hi
Yap, this is one of the trepanation of USB Modems. I usually recommend Not
to use them.
However you should No that the Counter Numbers meaningless, it does not mean
that you actually have to many connectors it is just a ID number.
