I am running FC11 and I recently purchased an internet stick from Bell Canada.I have searched/googled and searched again for setup help, to no avail.When, I insert the USB Internet stick, it shows up on my computer as a MMC storage device.FYI, the light on the Stick is green, which would indicate all systems go, but it simply won't connect.

Finally, my mobile broadband is native to Fedora. Just finished clean install of FC11 and it found the device, started it, and it works, just like it did in WIndows. ZeroConfig FTW! Great job Fedora team on this. FC10 it didn't work at all and FC6, 7, and 8 it took a lot of tinkering to make it fully functional.Also, NM is working MUCH better now with static IPs over the previous FC10 version. Set it up first run and had no issues with running my laptop on the network.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using Ubuntu 10.04 and trying to get a Novatel USB760 to work. Initially,it is detected as a CD rather than a modem. So, I wrote a udev rule to eject it and that worked, but sometimes the CD comes back and remounts itself and then kicks the modem off and the connection dies. I tried various ways to fix this, but no luck. Finally, I just deleted all the cd files in the /etc/udev/rules.d and the /lib/udev/rules.d (if you don't delete these, udev recreates the files in /etc/udev/rules.d). That does work and now the cd reports hardware errors and does not mount and the modem works as it should.
Now, this works on the device that does not and never will have a CD or DVD attached to it, but on my laptop I don't want to do that as I would not have access to my DVD drive. Does anyone know of a way to make the udev rules ignore specific hardware and not try to create mounts or symbolic links for those devices. Ideally, I would like to blacklist the novatel CD part and not the modem, but I am unsure how or if this is possible.
How do I get internet connection through mobile broadband (internet stick Nokia CS 15) for my laptop (Fujitsu Siemens) with encrypted hard disc (LVM)? I have set up LVM using Ubuntu 10.04 Alternate install.
Earlier when I installed the ordinary desktop version (Ubuntu 10.04 desktop) using no encrypted disc the internet connection worked fine. Before I installed the software from the internet stick an image appeared (Nokia Modem) on the desktop. I dubbel clicked the image and through the files that appeared I installed the software. After that I clicked the Eject Volume and after some input I had my connection.
But now I dont get that image on my desktop when the stick is plugged in. I can imagine that I have to mount the stick some how. I can further imagine that the encrypted hard disc through its protection now stop me from this action.
I am in Germany right now, and for the internet, I have given a USB Stick: mobilcom-debitel Surf-Stick, XS Stick W14. The problem is, the files on this stick all have .exe extension. I tried to use Wine to make them work, but Wine says that they are not marked as executable. So I tried to change that, but I got a message saying that the files are "read-only", and I cannot make that change.
PS. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
I have a Novatel 760 broadband USB device and I use kppp to connect though it is extremely slow (ping takes 100ms). What I need is a way to make kppp connect on reboot without any interaction from the user. I have looked on the Internet, but I did not find anything useful. I am using kppp because I could not get gnome-ppp to connect and it does not seem to have the features of kppp.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using Mepis on a dual boot computer for over a year. I want to give ubuntu a try so I made a bootable usb stick from ubuntu's live cd. Everything works as advertised even saved files and changes. I can't connect to the internet. I am connected via a 2wire modem to a linksys router thats connected to my computer through a ethernet cable. the router is for connecting my son's computer. Anyway I have no problems connecting from windows or Mepis. Whats strange is I can even connect when booting directly off the Ubuntu live CD.
When I try connect when booting from my usb stick I get a can not connect error. I am using the auto eth0 function and everything appears fine. I compared my settings from when booted from the Ubuntu live CD and they are Identical. I used network tools and I can ping my IP address but when trying to ping a web address I get the can not connect error. I am beginning to think ubuntu has my USB stick confused with a CD but not sure how to correct it. Here's some additional INFO:

I have a USB huawei ec1262 wireless internet stick from Reliance. I google'd on how to install it. I am using Debian Lenny. I know that there is a "mode-switch" package that needs to be installed but this is not available on the down load package list for Debian. i can find this & also instructions if possible on how to get this working on my Lenny system .

I just want to use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to connect to the internet. I have done a massive amount of troubleshooting, but some of it seems to contradict itself, and the only two things that I know for sure are that it used to work, and that my Ethernet cable is not the problem. When I use Terminal utilities like ifup and dhclient it seems that it can not determine IP information, but when I try to put it in manually, the "Apply" button grays out right after I finish typing it in. When I try to connect normally, in KDE or GNOME, the icon acts like it's connecting, then instead of having the connected icon, I receive a notification that "the network has been disconnected", and it goes back to the disconnected icon.
Oh, and by the way, I know that I could probably find a workaround, but I have limited resources, and this used to work. The Linux is a Dell desktop with Fedora 12 and the Windows is a Windows 7 HP laptop.EDIT: I hope that I didn't mess something up, but I accidentally used system-network-config to try putting in the IP address there, and ended up changing it back to the original settings, but the computer is now calling it Auto Ethernet in the taskbar icon, although sudo iwconfig in the terminal still calls it eth0.
I have installed fedora 12 recently. after installation i tried to connect to the internet using BSNL broadband connection. I filled in the details such as IP, Netmask, Gateway and even DNS servers. In the services also I ensured that the network manager services is on. However even though my computer cannot connect to the internet. I then tried the ping test of the modem from the address 192.168.1.1 and found that the ping test is successful. Then i tried the network administrator and there I noticed something unusual.
There are two options in the devices eth0 and eth1 thats ok but the unusual; thing is that the Activate (green button), Deactivate (red button) and even the delete buttons are in the background and I cannot select them. Isthis the problem for the network connectivity.

View 14 Replies View RelatedWe installed Fedora on top by my WindowsXP, we have updated the connection information with the addresses, but can't access any website. Connection Manager says we're connected. We created a new wired network connection, but it doesn't appear in the choices.
I installed Ubuntu recently and had a similar problem, only mine was that my computer was competing with hers (something to do with DHCP). The solution was to alter my /etc/network/interfaces file, but I also screwed with settings in the "Network Connections" thing, pretty much altering a connection my /etc/network/interfaces file seemed to have made. My problem was only solved as far as I cared. I wonder if this is the same problem.
On the other hand, we attempted connecting the Fedora box directly to a modem and still no internet, so I believe they are entirely unrelated. But I wanted to include this for completeness in case they are.

View 5 Replies View Relatedfor the last one week i'm facing problem in sharing internet between xp and fedora. I'm connected to internet through wireless adapter in xp and wants to share internet through crossover cable between xp and fedora. I did the following steps.
1: start a network setup wizard in xp.
2: change the smb.conf file in fedora and change the workgroup name to same as in xp.
3:in Xp the ethernet adapter has address 192.168.0.1/24.
4: when i connect the crossover cable and start fedora. it couldn't get the ip address through dhcp.
5: when i tried giving the ip address manually "192.168.0.2/24 with gateway 192.168.0.1"and save the subnet mask is replaced by 192.168.0.1 don't know why it not saved.
i tried changing new ethernet card but not worked. some time avc denials message "SELinux is preventing consoletype (consoletype_t) "read" to /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-eth0.leases (dhcpc_state_t)." comes. can any one tell me how to enable or make a network in fedora . i 'm very new in linux and couldn't able to share network .
I've worked with Fedora 10 for quite a time, with no problems regarding network or internet.Now that I've upgraded to Fedora 11, nothing regarding networking works. I have a dual LAN nVidia controlled network card. I've tried every possible network setting (dhcp, local only, etc...) and also tried to connect 2 pc's via direct connection, all without a result.
When I activate dhcp (as I normally would do/did), fedora tries to connect (with this blue balls spinning next to the clock), but then after a while, I just says that the network doesn't connect (the little red cross over the network connection).If I try to enter the ip, gateway, etc... manually, it says that I'm connected, but I can't ping0find any other computer or router.
My machine is HP Pavilion DV5. I am running Vista Home Premium as host and installed Fedora 10 as guest using Vmware Workstation 6.5.3 B185404. I am using wireless connection for Vista and use NAT for Fedora (as default). I cannot connect to the internet in Fedora. Is it because of the issue of driver for the wireless card in Fedora, not sure, coz Fedora just uses connection through the host right? I need to download packages and use for my program.
