Help set dialup connection plz
Yo i ditched NetZero ISP and got another ISP
HIGHSTREAM!! 8.95 month lol anyways i dont need no stupid software now... now i need help configuring my connection.... i know where to put id and number and password but highstream sez i have to: Login ID / Username: Your Dial Up Login Name is assigned to you by our servers when you first register for an account. It will be a series of numbers followed by "@highstream.net", for example 123456@highstream.net. You need to include the @highstream.net part. To configure your access using Linux you need to set up a PPP connection using the following DNS addresses: Primary DNS = 198.6.1.4 Secondary DNS = 198.6.1.5 The authentication protocols CHAP and PAP are both supported. However based on users feedback, we would recommend you to try first using CHAP. Where i set the primary/seconday DNS at?? also how i set the chap/pap? i dont see it i tryed just putting id/pw and number but when i try to click on dial i get "smpppd not running or im not in dialup group ..check variables) plz help (IAM in DIAL GROUP) |
OK i had to configure my modem again (choosing other)
Now when i try to dial i get this: Trying to connect to smpppd connect to smpppd status is: disconnected status is: Lurking status is: disconnected ppp[0] died: pppd options error (exit code 2) what to do??? :( |
btw Linux sez i have: PCTel HSD56 Micromodem
Windows sez i have: PCTel Platinum V90 |
What dialup software are you using? How are you setting up the connection? Does it make any difference if you try to connect as root?
For your DNS, your /etc/resolv.conf should contain: nameserver 198.6.1.4 nameserver 198.6.1.5 |
You might be better off springing for a cheap external. PCTel is an internal winmodem isn't it? For 20 bux american you oughtta be able to find a decent 56k v.92.. like a conextant or something of that nature. It'll free up some of your system resources as it's a real hardware modem as opposed to those winmodems. I installed a winmodem and SuSE 9.0 ran it, but it was kinda funky.
I know none of this babble helps ya with your immediate problem , but if linux is finding your modem, I'm sure you'll get it squared away shortly. I tried highstream but it was a while ago and I don't think I tried running linux with it. I've been using dialup4less for a while now and couldn't be happier. It works well with all the SuSE's, Mandrakes, and fedoras, Is simple to hook-up and it's 13 bux a month unless you pay in advance, then it's 10 bux, and they hook ya up within 5 hours of cashing your green stamps. What flavor linux are ya runnin ? |
Yeah i tryed as root too, i use Kinternet
If i choose in network/modem configuration (PCTE HSP micro modem) i cant even try to dial.. if i choose (other) then i can try to dial but i get error above...i cant even hear the modem dial. |
SUSU 9.1 personal... damn, i read alot on net bout linux not liking my modem type...
|
A winmodem uses software made to work with microsoft. A cheap hardware modem is not hard to find.
|
I was just reading a little at highstreams site and it seems some of the access numbers support v.90 modems and some support v.92 modems. might that be an issue ?

I dont think the access # are the issue...this might help some ppl, i did a google search and found:
PC-TEL HSP Modem Driver Module for Linux Kernel 2.2.5 (Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 Binary -- Demo Release) Serial Version 4.27.116-Intel Linux port by William Hsu ======================================================================== This is the release note for the PC-TEL HSP modem driver for Linux. This file explains how to build and use the HSP modem driver. FILE CONTENTS ======================================================================== After you unzip the distribution zip file, you should have: lib/pctel.o Installable modem driver (Caldera OpenLinux 2.2) lib/control.a Relocatable object for Controller module lib/dsp.a Relocatable object for DSP module lib/hal.a Relocatable object for HAL module src/module/Makefile Makefile to re-compile driver for other Linux distributions src/module/ptmodule.c Source file to include __module_kernel_version[] string README This file WHAT HARDWARE DO YOU NEED? ======================================================================== You need a standard Pentium MMX/PII/Celeron motherboard with the PC-TEL HSP56 MicroModem PCI modem (PCT789T/PCT789T-A with 301D/L or 303D/L chipset). The modem driver assumes that the PCI vendor ID is 134D and the PCI device ID is 7892, 7891, or 7890. Make sure there is no conflicts with IRQ and I/O base address by checking the /proc/pci file. Check for "Communications controller" device with the corresponding vendor and device ID. HOW TO BUILD THE MODEM DRIVER? ======================================================================== If you have a different Linux kernel distribution (other than Caldera OpenLinux 2.2), you may need to recompile the included source file to rebuild the binary for your kernel. The module installer checks the __module_kernel_version[] embedded in the driver (pctel.o) to make sure that your driver module is compatible with the running kernel before allowing you to "insmod" the driver. To rebuild the driver: cd to src/module and run 'make'. If you have gcc installed correctly, it should generate the output file in lib/pctel.o HOW TO USE THE MODEM DRIVER? ======================================================================== You can use 'insmod pctel.o' to install it. The current driver source uses the major number 62 and minor number 79 (which maps into /dev/ttyS15). Make sure you have a char device node for /dev/ttyS15. Login as root and use the 'mknod' command: mknod /dev/ttyS15 c 62 79 You may want to use 'chgrp uucp /dev/ttyS15' to change its group owner and 'chmod 666 /dev/ttyS15' to grant read/write access to other users. /dev/ttyS15 will behave like a regular serial device. Open the port with a terminal application (e.g. Seyon). Make sure it is configured to use /dev/ttyS15. You probably want to create another device node named /dev/modem (or create a symbolic link using "ln -s") as some terminal and PPP dialer applications use that name as its default. If you opened /dev/ttyS15 successfully with a terminal application, you can type in AT commands to interface with the modem (please consult PC-TEL AT Command Summary Document for more information). Sample AT commands (type <CR> after all AT commands): Command What Response ======================================================================== AT Attention OK ATI3 Report version number PCtel 7.64-9LJ-116-Intel ATZ Reset modem OK ATDT1234567 Off-hook and dial Dials the number 1234567 ATA Answer Goes off-hook and answers ATW1 Report carrier (DCE) speed OK Sample Modem Applications: ======================================================================== Seyon Terminal application minicom Terminal application kPPP PPP Dialer KNOWN BUGS OR ISSUES ======================================================================== * This release is for USA phone lines only. International support requires a PCT303D/W Codec/DAA chipset. |
I guess i gotta compile the files in the zip >_<
