Trying to connect 7250i with DKU-2 cable

Title says it all.

Bought a DKU-2 cable yesterday, downloaded PC Suite and have been trying to connect ever since then.

It seems that this is a common problem, I get the USB error too.

So how do I resolve this?

Thanks in advance.

You've got the wrong cable. 7250i uses the DKU-5 so DKU-2 doesn't work at all. I hope you can take it back to the store - did they tell you it would be compatible?

And when you get the DKU-5, you need to install its driver first as they are not included in PC Suite.

See 7250i cable info at

Re: Trying to connect 7250i with DKU-2 cable

please check that your operating system is compatable with the DKU-5 cable before you waste more money.

i have been unfortunate enough to purchase the correct cable DKU-2 for my 6230 at a cost of £20 only to find that the driver for the cable is not supported by windows ME

you can check compatablity on this web site under software

Thanks, I will check all this out, not very happy about the store telling me that the DKU-2 was compatible.

Re: Trying to connect 7250i with DKU-2 cable

I'm still using windows 98 (I know, an old phone & computer!), where would I get the driver for the 7250i (at least I have the right cable, dku-5, right?).

If you can't tell from this I am a bit of a technical idiot so may I ask you to spell it out... I am that bad at this type of thing

Thanks

Re: Trying to connect 7250i with DKU-2 cable

Thanks very much for this but I dont seem to have a link on the web page for downloading the driver ... there is a link for my version of PC suite, does that mean I dont need a separate driver?

Re: Trying to connect 7250i with DKU-2 cable

Yes, this IS confusing:
DKU-5 is an old cable and the driver has never been integrated to Nokia PC Suite.

So yes, you need to install DKU-5 driver separately.

Nokia PC Suite includes:
- driver for DKU-2 and its newer version CA-53, both technically identical, "true USB cables"
- driver for CA-42, which is the new version of DKU-5. Both cables are actually "serial port to usb emulators". (phone wants to connect to PC as serial port device, but it does that through physical USB port)

Where would I find this separate driver for my system?
