Hi,
I am trying to set up a GPRS connection with Bluetooth. I tried connecting to gprs with fedora 9 system and it got connected,whereas the same dint work for me in Moblin(which is a flavour of Linux) and running /var/log/messages shows

pppd:connection script failed

What could be the reason for this. Any help would be appreciated

Hello,

if i understood your question correct, you mean that you try to use your mobile phone as a modem for your linux-computer?

I did this with my Samsung mobile-phone. It was necessary to set up the phone as a modem instead as a massstorage-device (which is the default option). This configuration was to do on the phone itself (in my case).

I am getting these messages while connecting to gprs in fedora,

but whereas in moblin it is not able to take the options from the ppd script. The output is as follows in moblin:

pppd[]:connection script failed
pppd[]:exit

I some how got it working.But, in the var log messages, it is showing the DNS ip addresses(local and remote). But when I ping for www.google.com, it shows that the host is down. Should some changes be done in the network settings or in the mobile?
