I am using Reliance Fixed Wireless Landline connection as my telephone. The hand set is LG LSP 340E. Using Fedora Core 3 as operating system.
I have set up the modem with typing the following to /etc/wvdial.conf

[Modem0]
Modem=/dev/ttyS1
Baud=115200
SetVolume=0
DialCommand=ATDT
init1=ATZ
init2=AT+CRM=1
FlowControl=Hardware(CRTSCTS)
[Dialer reliance]
Username= <My Username>
Password= <My password>
Phone=#777
Stupid Mode=1
Inherits=Modem0


The problem is that if I log in as an user and open the terminal and try to execute that by typing wvdial reliance i am getting message Cannot open /dev/ttyS1 : Device or resource busy

If I am logging as root then I am getting response from modem and the modem connects to my primary DNS Address (202.138.103.100) and secondary DNS address(202.138.96.2). If I ping to those addresses I am getting response but still I cannot open any website using Mozilla browser. Suppose if I write http://www.google.com in the address bar of Mozilla, I am getting an error message which tells me that "google.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again." if I use the hyperlink of red hat site from the mozilla window, I am getting the same message.

Why I cannot connect?

masand

after you are connected to the internet

post the O/P of

route -n

and

traceroute yahoo.com

and the contents of the file /etc/resolv.conf

only after you are connected to the internet

regards

anindyanuri

If I use route -n then I am getting message
bash: route: command not found

If I use traceroute yahoo.com, www.yahoo.com & http://www.yahoo.com I am getting message
unknown host yahoo.com
unknown host www.yahoo.com
unknown host http://www.yahoo.com

The contents of /etc/resolv.conf
# I have added these lines 19 Feb 2005
nameserver 202.138.103.100
nameserver 202.138.96.2

What to do now?

anindyanuri

I have forgot to mention that If I use traceroute 202.138.96.2, I am getting response

masand

hi there

run route -n
as a root user or /sbin/route

or do one thing

edit ur /etc/resolve.conf and put this there

nameserver 127.0.0.1

and then start ur bind service by

service named start

and for future

chkconfig named on

if u do not have named installed,then insall the package bind

regards

anindyanuri

I have run those commands as root user.

Edit the /etc/resolv.conf with nameserver 127.0.0.1? I do. But should I delete the other entries there or I'll apend that at the last?

After that what u told could not understand at all. Do not know about the bind service. If u take the pain to clear it...

masand

hi there

i am try to start ur nameserver.coz i think the nameservr ur using is not correct

so do
service named start

and add that entry
nameserver 127.0.0.1
at the top of the resolv.conf
an u may keep the other entries as well

regards

anindyanuri

One more question, where do I find the BIND package? Is it under network packages section?

masand

its under servers ,u may loook for bind or DNS or named

it is generally installed by default

did u try

service named start

regards

anindyanuri

I am going to log off from windows and then log in to linux. then i can try. i am sure to do it right now......but please you now go to bed.....it is tooooooo late. I am grateful to you, friend. Please take rest. Reply me tomorrow

masand

i hope this will work out and its not so late for me

regards

anindyanuri

Masand...............at last
I am now logged into from Fedora Core 3.
1. I have installed the 'bind' package from cd.
2. I have edited the /etc/resolv.conf file and added two lines at the top. The first line is 'service named start' and the second line 'nameserver 127.0.0.1'.
There is thing, if I want to run the command 'service named start' from terminal I am getting a message
bash: service : command not found
3. I tried traceroute yahoo.com and a message displayed
traceroute : Warning : yahoo.com has multiple addresses; using 66.94.234.13
(and it started the trace.....)

At this point I opened the Mozilla browser and the result is that I am writing this from Linux, using Mozilla.

Some days before (about a month back) I also connected from Red Hat 9 but it was not going well. Sometime I could logged in and sometime I could not. I don't know whether it will be happening again.

However, if I cannot connect tomorrow, I shall inform you again (if I can then also inform you).

At last I am feeling good (!). Lots of love to you. A very good night. Hope to meet you tomorrow using linux.

Waiting for some more suggestions :
I have not used KPPP. What do u suggest, should I use it?

I am logged in as root to dial (to use 'wvdial reliance'). Should I logged in as root everytime when I'll log into net or I can log into net from any user setting?

I am not going to change anything without your suggestion.

Again a lot of thanks and love to you.

With regards
anindyanuri

masand

first of all good that it is working now

also u only need to add the

nameserver 127.0.0.1

line to ur /etc/resolv.conf file

and run
service named start as root

also do

chkconfig named on

so that named starts by itself next time

and regarding your root and non-root problem i think u can login as non-root and then run
"su" in terminal before running ur wvdial

Good Morning Masand.....................I am able to connect from FC3 again but

1. I have logged in to net after three consequtive try with wvdial reliance command.

2. I have already added the line nameserver 127.0.0.1 to /etc/resolv.conf file. This line is the second line there. The first line is service named start. Though after your last message it is seemed that you told me to run service named start from terminal after logging in as root. Then should I DELETE the line service named start from first line of /etc/resolv.conf file making nameserver 127.0.0.1 line as the first line?

3. I cannot run service named start from terminal. It is giving me an message bash: service: command not found. I am always logging in as 'anindyanuri' (I mean to say as non root) and then logging into terminal as root with 'su' command with providing the password for root. According to your suggestion I have installed the 'bind' package last night, using my FC3 cds.

4. The same thing is happening in case I go to run chkconfig named on from terminal (obviously entering the terminal as root using 'su' command with password for root).

Now I have two questions to ask from you, these are...
1. You wrote a line in your last message so that named starts by itself next time. What that line means? What is a neamed start?

2. In this web page's left col. where we find that when an user despatched the reply, there is a symbol of penguine. In windows I was getting a message the user is online or offline (e.g. Masand is now online) on mouseover the penguine. I am not getting this message in linux. May I get it anyway?

masand

hi

delete the line

service named start from ur resolv.conf

then run this as root

/sbin/service named start

this will start named for this time but if u want to start it by itself next time too
then
/sbin/chkconfig named on
