ubuntu 9.10 and LG ks360 modem

[geraldhum]

I connected my phone via USB and went to network connections and then Mobile Broadband. I then setup the connection for vodacom and went to connect and it all connects fine and my LG displays an external IP.

The problem is i cant browse the net like this, The dial out number is *99# and i do get a signal and everything does connect but just cant browse the net. Anyone know how can i get this to work.

Regards
Gerald

Can you at least do a ping ?

this is weird... i've seen someone connect and browse in 9.04 without hiccup on a ks360... what does wvdialconf spit out?

also dmesg | tail immediately after connecting the unit...

[geraldhum]

Nope, i can't do a ping. When i try ping any website it goes strait to unknown host and doesn't even pause before it says unknown host. When i ifconfig, I am getting an ip address from Vodacoms DHCP under ppp0.

Here is the wvdialconf

Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.

what happens when you run

Code: Select all

sudo wvdial

?

[Anthro]

Code: Select all

/etc/wvdial.conf<Warn>: Can't write '/etc/wvdial.conf.tmp7841': Permission denied

Permission denied says it all - try sudo as rusty suggests

[geraldhum]

I ran sudo wvdial. Now the connection doesn't connect at all. Just says gsm network disconnected and thats it.

[geraldhum]

Thanks for all the help, It is working now. Just rebooted ubuntu and all is ok and connecting perfect.

[rustypup]

glad to hear it... i still find it strange it didn't work straight off the bat, but there we are...

Somewhere on the internet there is a bar graph that explains this phenomenon..
Something about " Hello IT - Have you tried turning it back off, and on again"
