I have been using Telstra Bigpond Wireless Broadband USB Internet for about 12 months on my Laptop with Windows Vista Operating System.
I also have an Eee PC Notebook (Linux Operating System)that previously connected to the Internet via Desktop Wireless Modem.
The problem I have now is trying to connect to the internet on my Linux Notebook using Telstra Bigpond Wireless Broadband USB.
I have phoned Telstra Technical Assistance and the told me they cannot help me because the Operating System is Linux.
I need help on how to install Telstra Bigpond Mobile broadband . The dongel is a ZTE model MF633BP+ Mobile Card. I have tried with Ubuntu 10.10, 10.04 and 9.10 but all I can get is a message saying it is disconnected. The computer is a modified Optima with a new motherboard, RAM and power supply with a 120GB hard drive.The hard drive is empty so which of the Ubuntu models suits a geriatic old fart of 67 like me who has only low computer skills.
PS I think I have also sent this request to a wrong address on these forums.
the bsnl modem cannot access the ubuntu 9.10

I want to be able to share that Internet though an Ethernet port so I can connect another PC or my playstation so I can steam movies or just use the INTERNET on another puter. Iv tried lots of stuff I found on Internet like firestarter for one but it doesn't want to set up right.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a ZTE MF100 3G internet USB modem working fine under ubuntu 10.04 but, there is a little problem:-It does connect in 2 modes: 2G and 3G. If 3G signal is fairly strong, downloading speed reaches 200 KB/s for 600 MB/Day, then for the rest of the day it switches to 2G mode with 15 KB/s max downloading speed. If 3G signal is weak, it switches automatically to 2G, and that's what I hate. Under Windows, I can manually force the modem to connect in 3G mode even if the signal is weak.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running Ubuntu 11.04 on an external USB drive on a Dell D630 laptop.
My issue is I can't get my 3G modem to work. It is a K3770 Huawei modem.
When I plug it in after boot up it is not recognized at all as far as I can tell. (Which is not very far).
When I plug it in before boot up it shows up as a CD rom drive. I have usb-modeswitch is installed. (It was installed by default during the 11.04 installation.)
what to do to get this to work? Remember my Ubuntu is running on an external USB drive so anything that switches USB off even temporarily won't work. (I don't think).
I was recently asked to get a 3G ZTE 633 modem (not in stores) to connect to the internet whenever it was plugged in. I had it successfully working on my Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon machine but it does not work on Fedora 10 which is where it is required to work. When the 3G modem is plugged in I use a Udev rule to run usb_modeswitch which changes it from being in usb storage mode to being in modem mode. This part works fine. I then run a second udev rule (on the modem device), this should run a script which connects to the internet. Unfortunately it falls over here. The script does run but it will not connect. However if I run the script manually from root it works fine. I guess that it is a permissions issue.
The device permissions are:
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 0 2009-04-26 11:31 ttyUSB0
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 1 2009-04-26 11:31 ttyUSB1
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 2 2009-04-26 11:31 ttyUSB2
The script and script folders permissions are:
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4.0K 2009-04-26 11:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4.0K 2009-04-26 11:13 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 95 2009-04-26 11:46 run_internet
One thing to note is that there are three udev devices associated with the modem. They are ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB2. I use ttyUSB2 to talk to the modem when connecting. Here are the files. If you require any more let me know:
The first udev rule:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2000", SYSFS{idVendor}=="19d2", RUN+="/usr/bin/usb_modeswitch"
The second udev rule:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0031", SYSFS{idVendor}=="19d2", MODE="0666", RUN+="/outputs/run_internet"
The script:
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo script
/usr/bin/wvdial &
cp -f /etc/telstra_resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
The wvdial config file:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = ATS7=60 S30=0 S0=0
Init4 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","telstra.internet"
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 9600
New PPPD = no
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB2
ISDN = 0
Dial Command=ATD
Phone = *99#
Password = user@bigpond.com
Username = password
Stupid Mode = 1
So what am I missing? I suppose it is related to device permissions. Why does the "mode" command not work? With what rights do udev rules run?
This is my first post on forums.i am using centos 5.5 on my pc. i want to use internet on my using my cellphone as modem.internet is running successfuly on my handset.i have got a usb cable to connect it with pc.details are given below:-

I just bought a TRENDNET TDM C4000 (=modem/ wiredrouter) and got it working. If I connect my computer with through the ethernet port directly, the internet will work. However, when I try connecting the ends of the ethernet cable on the modem and my wireless router, it's not transmitting. I know I set up the wireless router correctly because it worked with my previous modem. I just need to know how to configure my modem so that it works with my wireless router (D-Link DI-524).
I have a long wired ethernet wire to satisfy my academic needs for the internet at the moment but my mother is not able to surf the internet and it would be more convenient for myself to put the wire back to my desktop and have my laptop browsing wirelessly.
Earlier today I decided I wanted to switch back over to ubuntu, my internet was working fine, but as soon as i reformatted to Linux my modem stopped showing any lights under ADSL - TX and RX. and I can't connect to my wireless connection anymore. What should I doooooooo

Other problem is when I try to use Gnome PPP dialer, it could not connect. Modem type is listed as ttyS0 and so on while I have setting in wvdial.conf ttyUSB0 so it does not support.

My internet is provided by a 3g modem usb. I am sharing the internet connection through my desktop into a router and then to the rest of my Ubunut machines. Currently if I want to file share I have to go into the network manager and change the eth0 settings from shared to dchp automatic and then unplug the cable from the internet port on the router to one of the network ports. Is it possible to add another network card to the main machine and use that exclusively for either internet or file sharing.
