Hello - I am new to the ILUG-D. Am having an internet connection problem with Reliance ZTE MG880 and Huawei EC325 modems on Fedora 9. I know next to nothing about communications / networking. I have posted in multiple forums, no solutions yet. If this is the wrong place to post this, I am sure you will let me know ...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I had both ZTE MG880 and Huawei EC325 modems working with Fedora Core 6. Service provider Reliance, India. I just upgraded to Fedora 9. When I try to connect through either modem, it seems the connection is made (Ping) but pppd issues some garbage and Firefox is unable to recognize the connection. The issue seems similar in both cases. Below is some output. ZTE MG880 ATDT#777 CONNECT --> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately. --> Starting pppd at Sun May 25 09:23:04 2008 --> Pid of pppd: 6053 --> Using interface ppp0 --> pppd: �}( ؇( --> pppd: �}( ؇( --> pppd: �}( ؇( --> local IP address 220.226.50.155 --> pppd: �}( ؇( --> remote IP address 220.224.135.106 --> pppd: �}( ؇( --> primary DNS address 202.138.103.100 --> pppd: �}( ؇( --> secondary DNS address 202.138.96.2 --> pppd: �}( ؇( Huawei EC325 --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: AT+CRM=1 AT+CRM=1 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATDT#777 --> Waiting for carrier.
