The new Mobicarts actually block internet access by UMTS sticks on your laptop. Thats because Orange now actively prohibits tethering and wants to assure that their cards are only use by smartphones.

So if you see a blocking screen by Orange (which says in french) that there is no access by UMTS sticks, you should choose the Mozilla Firefox browser and download the add-on "user agent switch". This is best done before, if you want to use a Mobicard in your USB-stick later. The add on can be easily activated later and set from to.

The reason is that Orange identifies all browsers on laptops (like IExplorer, Firefox, Opera or Chrome) and bans them because no smartphone actually uses them. By this add-on your Firefox will be a disguised Iphone and runs smoothly...
