I'm new with GNOME so can anybody can tell me how to configure internet connection with Nokia+Ma-8620e USB data cable (CDMA phone)

I already have internet connection with SUSE 9.2 but I want have it on my Ubuntu too....becos I like this new distro...it's great..... so please help me....

I'm trying to find "wvdial.conf" in ubuntu but I cant find it

this is my setting with suse 9.2 and Kinternet so how if with ubuntu :


edit "wvdial" (/etc/wvdial.conf)--->

[Dialer starone]
Modem = /dev/usb/ttyUSB0
Baud = 230400
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = AT+crm=1
Init3 = AT+cso=33
FlowControl = CRTSCTS
Area Code =
Phone = #777
Username = starone
Password = indosat

Dial Command = ATDT
Stupid Mode = 1
Compuserve = 0
Force Address =

on terminal root "ln -s /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 /dev/modem" then go to YAST configure "network device"---->modem

"modems to configure" choose "configure"----> to change :

then.... whohaa I already can use my CDMA phone to connect to the internet........

so again....how to configure it with Ubuntu (I'm using Hoary 5.04)

thanx a lot

Gnome has a gui daemon for that un the gnome menue > system tools

you can use the internet configuration wizard or network device control

it helps if /dev/modem is pointing to your modem

I have pointing my modem to /dev/modem then what next?

er - hopefully you pointed /dev/modem to your modem...

Anyhoo - like I said - look for the gui is probably your best bet:
look in the gnome menue for something that sounds like "system tools" and look in there. There is usually something called "network configuration" or "internet configuration" or similar.

try running pppconfig in a terminal worked for me i could never get my modem set up with wvdial

hemm I'll try that thanx

btw after configure with pppconfig now how to make dial?

how to connect to the internet?

pon and poff

Where I can find pon and poff?
or I must type it on konsole Or on run command?

sorry... I really dont know

u can use the modem lights gnome applet if u want. But you just have to type them in the terminal, sorry i was a bit unclear. But if you use modem lights you have to edit your pppconfig profile a bit, so start up pppconfig again then change connection i do believe then advanced options or something like that haha has been a long time since i did this then go down to user add and delete the 2 dots you see and add your user name then go to previous menu and finished up by saving it over your old one. either way is good, sorry if the walk through is rubbish i'm thinking off the top of my head.

thankyou for the walkthtrough becoz I'm a noob for ubuntu so your help is very very usefull for me

so thanx... I'll try to do that--->modem lights gnome applet

hope I can do it

ok now I have a new problem...
why I can connect for a long time? about 3 mnt n I cann't connect to everywhere...
I think because there is no configuration that look like on my suse

(soory my english is bad )

S'allright (English) - I'm used to it. Just take your time, read things back and adjust your language so you can understand it and our lo-ong experience with the language will be used to help us understand you.

Let's see if I can understand this... You have configured the modem and you can dial an isp, log on and so forth, but after a few minutes nothing happens? That right?

Does the system seem to "hang" - or do you unexpectedly log off - or what exactly? (I suspect that data flow goes to nill even though a connection is established.)

I usually associate this problem with internal Winmodems! Probably best to show us what your modem configuration looks like...

yup...after a few minute my connection off...
how to configure internet connection with ubuntu? so I can connect to the internet just like on my suse

thankyou

For Ubunto - there are a number of ways...

in GUI try:

computer > system configuration > network and click "add" to add a ppp0 interface
(you may need to remove your existing attempts first)

in terminal try:
man pppconfig for details

But since you have had a connection (if only a short one) it means that you have configured your modem ... so show us your configuration and we may be able to help more specifically.
