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 1 Replies View RelatedI have a desktop computer running Debian Lenny, a 56 K modem, and a dial-up account, currently configured like this: computer -> modem -> UPS -> phone jack
When I run off a Knoppix live CD, I can use kppp to configure pppd (using PAP/CHAP authentication and hardware control flow) to dialup and surf. When I try to user kppp to configure pppd exactly the same way on my hard drive installation, I get nothing. Both my Knoppix live CD and Debian Lenny use exactly the same version of kppp, but the pppd related files in /etc/ppp look a bit different.
Under both Knoppix and Debian Lenny hard drive installation, when I try to connect, the login debug window of kppp shows:
Code:
ATZ
OK
ATM1L1
OK
ATDT [phone number]
At this point I hear the modem dialing out, and when using Knoppix, after a few seconds I see
Code:
Which I think corresponds to my route to the InterNet being established through my ISP. When using the hard drive install, I never see the CONNECT, and all indications are that my modem is not sending authentication information at all, but getting stuck right after dialing out, so that my ISP gets a phone call from a modem which... refuses to speak. I never had any problems before, so I am baffled.
So apparently my system is currently misconfigured in some way which prevents point to point protocol from getting out.
Questions:
I have a firewall on my computer which I set up using guarddog. I have enabled point to point protocol from internet zone to local zone. I know that ppp is a symmetrical protocol, but my understanding is that I do not need to enable point to point from local to internet zone. I have not enabled irc protocol because my understanding is that this is only relevant to software flow control using chat scripts. Does this sound correct? Is there some additional protocol I need to allow in order to use pppd to dial out?
When I reboot my computer (off the hard drive) I sometimes see that the system complaining about a failure to stop every process, and sometimes I see mention of an eth0.pid. I have been looking for lock files; would they all be in /var/run?
When I use kppp to configure pppd, I want to do that as my ordinary user for at least two reasons, correct? don't want to run pppd as root user for security reasons kppp is a GUI and root user can't use X (on Debian)
So I should see in home directory of my ordinary user
.kde/share/config/kppprc
.kde/share/apps/kppp
But not in /root directory, correct? What pppd related processes should I see with ps -ef if everything is working?
I have servers in remote locations where I have no control over the network routers or firewalls. I need to have a VPN connection to my servers.Is there a way to create a PPTP VPN connection automatically? I don't want to initiate it, I just want it to phone home, and keep phoning home if the connection is dropped.

View 1 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.
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.

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.

I am connecting the modem over USB. The GUI shows me it is dialling the number, and then connecting to the network, and after a while ( it sends it 9 times it seems) it terminates.
Ive been looking, and even tho dial up stinks, its better than nothing for me out here in the woods. I downloaded gnome-ppp. This should work for a linux friendly serial modem (US Robotics 9637 USB external)which is on the way.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been running 8.04 Hardy since its first release, and was hoping to deal with its loss of support by going to 8.10 but learned that it has already been dropped.
So I'm back to installing 10.04 - and up against the bizarre choice to drop dial-up networking! Fortunately, I have my 8.04 machine still live, and I've researched it extensively without success.
The best summary of what I've done follows this post I found online:
-----QUOTE-----
I read many threads about dialup, including those on this forum; made sure to get an external hw modem [USRobotics 5637 USB, advertised as controller-based and tested to work in Linux], to avoid the softmodem/winmodem problem.
Using the 10.04 LiveCD, I installed the four .deb packages that are in poolmainwwvdial and in poolmainwwvstreams.
Now I'm stuck because I get errors when I try command line stuff, errors like "cannot open /dev/modem" and "can't find /dev/modem in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"
I'm confused; I've read so many threads with so much different info that I can't sort it out. Maybe I'm following info that applied to earlier versions of Ubuntu. Every error I try to fix leads to more errors. Can someone suggest a constrained, step-by-step procedure to ensure I've mounted the modem, added myself to whatever groups, and whatever else I need to do?
I know there's no wizard to make it simple, but is there a checklist or something to help me sort this out? I have the ISP info, DNS primary+secondary server numbers, phone numbers, etc. Is there a UI/graphical path, instead of command line? Had no idea this would be so difficult.
I'm having trouble getting online, and therefore getting software, codecs etc, (I'm using another computer for this post) because the only option I have to connect to the web is through 56k dial-up modem, and this is apparently akward with ubuntu. I'm currently trying to work out how to get Ubuntu to recognize my modem. I have over-written Vista, which was previously on my laptop, although I did make recovery discs (though I really don't want to have to use them).
This is making it difficult for me to even find the model of my modem (it would involve reinstalling Vista and checking for the device under device manager, or Vista equivalent).I was advised to download the "Official Ubuntu documentation", and that this had a 'how to' section regarding dial-up modems. I downloaded it and searched it and found nothing as such. I also have downloaded the Ubuntu pocket guide and found nothing on the topic in it either.I can get online (via dial-up) on my XP machine, and also have USB storage sticks.
I need to know if there is any dial up accelerators for Ubuntu. The ISP I need them for is Localnet.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using an external Huawei CDMA fixed wireless terminal (phone + dial-up modem). It connects to my PC via a USB port. Actually my PC recognizes it (after driver installation) as "TIUMP Serial Port". I guess the driver is a kind of USB adapter for a serial port.
I can't get it to work in ubuntu 9.10. I ran wvdial (after installing dependencies and wvdial package) and it doesn't recognize my device as a modem. Is there any solution to this problem? Without solving it, I won't be able to go online from ubuntu.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been working for the last week trying to connect my serial hardware external modem (courier 56K v.everything) within an Ubuntu 10.4 environment. I live in the boonies where I am presently forced to use dial up, so this has got to work, else I cannot update Ubuntu or download software. After trying various suggestions, which my very limited Linux skills fail me, I opted for the suggestion that I download gnome-ppp, install and then use it. Seeing how I cannot download it through Synaptic Package Manager (which I was advised to but can't as it is my Linux computer that I am trying to connect).
I downloaded the zipped file (gnome-ppp_0.3.23_Oubuntu2.tar.gz ) to a USB stick, copied it to the home directory and then extracted it, wherein a new directory was created with many files in it. From here I have been unable to install it through the command line (not sure how), nor have I been able, as was suggested, to install it via the Synaptic Package Manager (can't get it to see the file, not sure how to). I need explicit (Newbie) instructions on how either to connect the modem without gnome-ppp, or instructions on how to get gnome-ppp installed.
I have tried to install Gnome 3 in ubuntu 11.04 and rebooted without installing the gnome-shell. In consequence I see some error messages followed by blank screen after I enter my password in Gnome session, it says failed to load any session. So I have decided to install it by booting to recovery mood to the terminal console by connecting to my existing (working) DSL connection already set up in the Network Manager. Therefore, I need the command how to dial the existing DSL connection via terminal.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have noticed that a common issue to several distros is the fact that the networking subsystem doesn't automatically detect the link if an ethernet connection is disconnected and then re-connected to the NIC after boot. If the ethernet cable is connected after the system is up and running, nothing happens - ethtool eth0 shows link detected: no, and you have to restart the network service to let the NIC know that there is in fact a link, and actually connect. I have a Fedora14 (KDE) box with a brand new Asus motherboard with embedded NIC. Everything works great except the auto-detect of a freshly connected ethernet connection if the link is down to begin with.
Am I missing a ethernet link sentinel utility or something, or is this just the way linux works? I have done plenty of research on plenty of posts, and it seems this is a common problem, with no solution other than manually or programatically restarting the network service in a script to detect the link after a disconnect.
I just can't seem to get this thing going. I've also tried Gnome-ppp. Press detect and it says "no modem installed" I did install it in Windows as well to make sure the darn thing actually works. It did perfectly.

After much work finding the bits and bobs to get my PCI controller based modem working in Ubuntu 9.10, I need a better way to start and stop it. Now it dials up when I reboot whether I want to be online or not. I can stop this, but it won't dial up again without a reboot.
I would love a way to push a button to get it to connect and disconnect, and blinking lights (like the green computer screens in WinXP) to tell me when I am communicating. Even better would be a way to set up multiple connections, again like in XP so I could use a variety of numbers and/or user names depending on where I am.
I'm trying to resolve an issue with a dial up modem and really need some help. I haven't used dial up in many years and not even sure how to approach the problem. Making matters worse, I haven't had a landline phone in years, so am trying to troubleshoot this problem and each time have to take it back to a friend, for whom I have installed Kubuntu 10.04. All works fine on my high speed ethernet and wireless, but I can't get the dial up she needs to work.
The system is a Compaq Presario V2000 laptop. KInfoCenter reports an ATI Technologies SB400 AC'97 Modem Controller. I know the modem hardware is fine, as it was working perfectly when I removed Windows XP and installed Kubuntu 10.04.I tried using KPPP, however KPPP will not let me set the DNS to Automatic...it is grayed out. So, I've installed both wvdialer and Gnome Dialer. Gnome Dialer seemed to set up fine and all user info. number to dial, etc. was set up.The problem is that when a telephone line is connected to the modem and you attempt to dial, no dial tone is detected.I don't know how to approach this, not how to troubleshoot it. I would be happy to provide any logs or output here, if someone can tell me what to do.
I am using Ubuntu 9.10 . And Using BSNL broadband I want to know that how to create new connection using username and password as we do it in windows.I have used pppconfig command but it gives me error that no dialer found d tell me how to create dialer in Ubuntu 9.10

Apparently wvdial is not included in the basic install. I will be visiting him in a few days and I would like get him going with his dial up. He currently has Windows XP and WUBI installed. I tried sending him a disc with wvdial but it didn't include the dependencies. Is there any way I can download a package on a disc?
