I use Fedora core 2.
I have already used the same modem with mandrake 10 and slackware for internet connection.
There is a problem with my internet connection in fedora core 2.
I have a windows XP and fedora core 2 dual boot PC.
I use a 56kbps dax external modem.
In windows XP it connect at 45333 bps.
But,in fedora core 2 it connects at 9600 bps.
I want to connect to internet using fedora core 2.
I found lots of messages regarding this issue in the internet.
I have given various log files information......

The /var/log/message content shows as:

Steps taken by me:

step 1:[upgrading kernel]
This problem persists in both kernels-2.6.5-1.358 and 2.6.6-1.427.
I have sent the /var/log/message in fedora core 2.

step 2:[change modem init strings in kppp and wvdial]
While searching i found that replacing correct modem init scripts rectifies the problem.
I found the respective inf file in windows xp and copied the init strings.
These are the modem init strings in my windows *.inf file.I replaced the modem init string in /etc/wvdial.conf and ran wvdial as root.
HKR, Init, 1,, "AT<cr>"
HKR, Init, 2,, "AT&FE0V1S0=0&C1&D2+MR=2;+DR=1;+ER=1<cr>"


Even after changing the init strings the system connects at 9600 bps.

Console output is:

[root@localhost ignacius]# wvdial Touchtel
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.53
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: AT
OK
--> Sending: AT&FE0V1S0=0&C1&D2+MR=2;+DR=1;+ER=1
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT1500
--> Waiting for carrier.
+MCR: V90
+MRR: 45333
+ER: LAPM
+DR: V42B
CONNECT 9600
--> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Fri Aug 27 13:12:35 2004
--> pid of pppd: 2496
AFTER I PRESSED CTRL-C
Caught signal #2! Attempting to exit gracefully...
--> Disconnecting at Fri Aug 27 13:13:08 2004


please help me in this regard.
I need immediate help.
Thank you all in advance.



Ignacius

aight

kernel upgrades you need ppp and ppp via asynch serial port support (can't think of anything else in there that relates)

Don't use wvdial, use straight kppp for better results, kppp will detect your modem (once you tell it where it is connected)
check the wvdial config file and change the speed setting

the order there (the connect before carrier detection) implies its a configuration issue

According to RedHat 7 unleashed (blows of dust) the config should contain:
Set the Baud argument to something faster (say 115200) the book (largely useless) then cites the output as being what you got, except the CONNECT line is running a faster speed.

I used the above given details in /etc/wvdial.conf
My wvdial.conf file is:
[Modem0]
Modem = /dev/ttyS1
Baud = 115200
SetVolume = 4
Dial Command = ATDT
Init1 = ATZ
FlowControl = NOFLOW

[Dialer Touchtel]
Username = xxxx
Password = xxxx
Phone = 1500
Stupid Mode = 1
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = AT S11=50
Inherits = Modem0

The output was:
[root@localhost ignacius]# wvdial Touchtel
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.53
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: AT S11=50
AT S11=50
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT1500
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT1500
CONNECT 9600
--> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Fri Aug 27 21:28:59 2004
--> pid of pppd: 2227

ERROR shown by Konqueror is:
An error occurred while loading http://hotmail.com:

Later i changed
init1 =ATZ
init2=AT&FE0V1S0=0&C1&D2+MR=2;+DR=1;+ER=1

Any body using dax 56k external modem and using fedora core please send the
details about the configurations you use for dialups.

If you can please attach your wvdial.conf[without your password and login details]
And also if you can please give the settings for dial up connection you use....

thank you in advance

I added the lines
echo "alias net-pf-10 off" >> /etc/modprobe.conf
echo "alias ipv6 off" >> /etc/modprobe.conf

Opened Gedit as root and browse to /etc/modprobe.conf
added these two lines:
alias net-pf-10 ipv4
install ipv4 /bin/true
Saved and rebooted.

I have doubts whether is this the maximum net speed possible in fedora?It is still somewhat slightly slower when compared to XP...
If any of you have detailed idea,Please give me what are the configuration files used by kppp.
What are the changes I have to make based on the above given details[The details given are for GNOME menu-->Network device control].


Any body using redhat 9 or fedora core1 and dax 56k external modem--->
please send your /etc/wvdial.conf file and /etc/modprobe.conf and other configuration files and kppp values in a detailed manner.It will be of great help to me.

Any of you using fedora core1,2 and redhat 9......
Please send your config files for net connetction....
/etc/wvdial.conf,etc

I added the lines
echo "alias net-pf-10 off" >> /etc/modprobe.conf
echo "alias ipv6 off" >> /etc/modprobe.conf

Opened Gedit as root and browse to /etc/modprobe.conf
added these two lines:
alias net-pf-10 ipv4
install ipv4 /bin/true
Saved and rebooted.


/etc/wvdial.conf file

silly thing, but you haven't got a wvdial.conf in your home dir, or a hidden one, or a hidden sub dir ?? (though i am just guessing at this stage)

Dont think you are the best person in linux.....
You must have seen the whole thread.
I have attached that I am having wvdial.conf in /etc an all logs.
My doubt is in the line

Aug 28 09:10:41 localhost pppd[2413]: Received bad configure-nak/rej: 12 06 00 00 00 01

Dont think you are over smart in linux.
First read fully
and if interested help others...

Dont send silly messages like the last one.Sorry for scolding...

With this i am closing this thread.
Bye...

thank you ,

for your superb idea(be cool guy)

ignacius

ignacius_n, why do you feel you have to be so rude? I have a very similar problem, and have been searching these forums for a solution, but after your last post it is doubtful anyone else will try to solve the problem.
Mike.
