Alcatel Speedtouch 330 - Sorry for new thread.

Hi,
I am completely new to these forums. Over the weekend I have acquired the infamous Alcatel Speedtouch 330 USB Modem and am trying to get it working under Vector Linux ( A slackware variant). I am sorry for yet another alcatel thread but i have tried everything else.

I have had the modem working perfectly under mandrake 9.1. However, when trying to install it in Vector I have had some problems. I have succesfully installed the Benoit Papillault's linux speedtouch drivers and have followed all the instructions on the site.

I have managed to load the microcode and the modem falshes sucessfully and the modem does connect with 'pppd call adsl'. However I cannot seem to connect to any websites using mozilla. Here is the output from running 'ifconfig ppp0' MORE than 20 seconds after running 'pppd call adsl'.

bash-2.05b# /usr/local/sbin/modem_run -m -f /usr/local/lib/mgmt.o bash-2.05b# pppd call adsl bash-2.05b# ifconfig ppp0 ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:217.42.109.230 P-t-P:217.32.9.96 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:3558 (3.4 Kb) TX bytes:54 (54.0 b) bash-2.05b#

My chap-Secrets, pap-Secrets, options and adsl are all set up correctly as far as I can gather. I have also created a symbolic link in /etc/ from /etc/ppp/resolve.conf

ln -s /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

I have read to do this somewhere.

I hope someone can help me. I have given as much information as I can think of. I have searched the internet many times and found nothing.

Regards,

Tom.
