I am Using Fedora 13 on My acer aspire laptop.
I want to connect to internet through my bluetooth Mobile(Airtel)
When I type wvdial at the command prompt, I recieve a message as "Command Not found" .
I even created a script with name wvdial.conf in /etc.
Please Provide me the steps to overcome this problem and the Method to connect to internet through Mobile Bluetooth.
Waiting for your reply
Thank You

The message is quite clear. The command isn't found...so either you don't have wvdial installed (in which case you need to install it via yum), or you don't have wvdial in your path. Find it with "local wvdial" or as root "find / -name wvdial". Then either modify your path to include that directory, or run it with the whole path name.
first run wvdial.conf /etc/wvdial.conf......then vim /etc/wvdial.conf and write these settings--
Code:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","airtelgprs.com","",0,0
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
stupid mode = 1
Modem Type = USB Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99#
Password = a
Username = a
also in /etc/resolv.conf----
Code:
nameserver 202.56.230.5
nameserver 202.56.230.6
now run wvdial
it will be connected....ENJOY
The wvdialconf program creates the /etc/wvdial.conf file. Which the OP said that they already HAD. And modifying your resolv.conf file manually is a bad idea...especially when you don't know if the OP will USE those name servers. The OP's original issue was that they couldn't FIND the wvdial command, which you told them to run.
oh sorry for that....i didn't see that...obviously rajeev you have to install wvdial package via yum install wvdial...and after that what the things i have post are working perfectly in my laptop...
