Got the MOK for the lg vx8100,8300,9800, but the data cable seems dead to windows - there is no ping pong when it isplugged into the USB port. Like the Radio Shack cable, the cable fits the phone fine, but even the radio shack phone caused windows to make an odd ping pong sound.
I understand now what the 6 6 1 setting was about, and realize we probably had set that correctly with the radio shack (and verizon) cables.
Who would I contact higher up at Verizon to complain of lousey support of their product? (Do not feel that the store people value my $43/mo check to VZW as much as I do, and wonder if anyone higher up would.) I should expect service and to be able to list the part number you guys mentioned and have verizon provide it to me ASAP.
I am a bit leary now about ordering third party parts thru mail after two cables that didn't do trick - just too many compatibility issues of soft/hardware.
I will try one more thing before returning the cable. I had loaded drivers and software from the cellphonemall site, and will try their manual connection procedure outlined as follows:
Manual Install of the Modem
4) Download, Unzip ? LG Modem Drivers
5) Open Device Manager (Control Panel ? System ? Hardware Tab)
Verify the “Prolific USB Data Cable” (or similar) Exists in the port section, and note the Com Port that it uses (Com(4) or similar)
6) Control Panel ? Phone and Modem ? Modems Tab.
Click Add ? Check “Don’t Detect My Modem” and Click Next ? Have Disk ? Point to location of file stored in Step 4, Click OK? Select “Verizon Wireless Phone”, Click Next ? Select Com port (from Step 5), Click Next ? Click Yes to message that indicates that the driver is not digitally signed ? Click Finish.
On Edit: No luck. Looked at DataPilot,FutureDial, and radioshack's Mobile Access product sites and there seems to be a difference of opinion as to how similar vx3200 and vx3300 are, and as to whether the vx3300 can even work as a modem.
