Nation.A.List,

The connection itself works fine (I've went to Starbucks to make sure) but when I try to connect to my Verizon network, it won't get past the "obtaining IP address stage". After a while of that, it just quits saying "not connected."

I also had this problem with my MacBook, initially. Verizon was aware of it, so once I called 'em, they told me to download something that cleared it all up. I'm not so sure that they're going to be able to do likewise for the Q7.

I'm really just putting off a laborious call to Verizon, but if anyone has any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them.
