http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi, I'm trying to connect with an O2 dongle (UK) on Fedora 12. When I follow any of the various tutorials online using the network manager, the connection never appears in the network manager and so i can't connect. I have now tried using "sudo wvdial connection_name" after setting up /etc/wvdial.conf. This seems to establish a connection, but I can't do anything with it (I don't have internet access and can't ping anything). The output is: sudo wvdial O2 --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. -- (HowTos)

Howto use Google DNS with ppp 37 weeks 4 days ago

I have a mobile broadband device that I use to connect to the internet. I wish to use the google dns service, their nameservers being 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4.

I want to connect to the internet via a dialup modem which is a US Robotics v92 USB modem which worked with F15, and works with Windows. The computer is a new ASUS desktop CM6870 with i7-3770 @ 3.40 GHz 64 bit system. I think wvdial is working but Firefox, Kmail, and Thunderbird fail to connect to server, or report no host.

Hi everyone,I am trying to install Arch, but I need an internet connection.To connect to the internet, I need to get my USB Mobile Broadband working.But, unfortunately, while wvdial seems to successfully connect to my Mobile Broadband (according to terminal output anyway), it acts as if it is not connected.Pinging fails and indicates no internet connection.

Hi all,I just purchased an Huawei E586E 3G Modem but I've had no success in getting it to work under Arch / Linux (works fine in Windows though). I have followed the wiki and ensured all the necessary packages are installed (ppp, usb_modeswitch etc).

wvdial might also be a workaround, if one does not like to downgrade. In my case, I had to unset my PIN on the SIM card first.

Error message I got when I ran the command:

sudo apt-get install wvdial

error p@p:~$ sudo apt-get install wvdial Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...
