Motorola V3m phone as modem going dorment

Can someone please tell me why my Motorola V3m phone that is used as our modem is constantly going dorment in the middle of EVERYTHING? We were using it on a desktop with Vista and Alltel kept saying it was a Vista issue. We are now using it on a brand new Inspiron 1520 laptop with XP OS and it still does it. We have a great signal here. I don't know anything about this stuff so any help in terms that I can understand would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Motorola V3m phone as modem going dorment

The V3 says "dormant" when there is no web activity.
In other words if you open a page it will say "packet data" during the download....while you are reading the page, after a period of time, it will say "dormant". Once you go on to another page or whatever, it will say "packet data" again.

It's not really an error, just how the V3 and V9 display.

Hughesanon @alltel.net	Re: Motorola V3m phone as modem going dorment But the problem is that it is dormant while I'm opening pages. Just get the "page cannot be displayed" message. More often than not I have to reload pages. It doesn't go out of dormancy when I try to open a new page. Thanks

Hughesanon @alltel.net	Re: Motorola V3m phone as modem going dorment No we are just using the phone as a modem connected thru a usb. No software used.

Hughesanon @windstream.net	Re: Motorola V3m phone as modem going dorment I honestly don't know if I know how to do that but I'll try to figure it out. Thanks!

Hughesanon @windstream.net	Apparently that is not the problem either. I really think it has something to do with the Alltel service as this is the second phone we've tried and we had the issue on our desktop using Vista as well as the laptop running on XP.
