But besides that, the system is telling me that it is not detecting a modem, how then will it be using these DNS? -- ..................................................................

Usually under networks, the modem is automatically detected and only requires me to configure it but for this one, there is nothing under networks. I have been using the old modem (E1752) with out a problem but when I plugged this one, nothing changed. I tried it in XP and it is working perfectly well. I have even tried to install usb-modeswitch, but the system tells me the currently installed version is the most recent. Tried wvdialconf and the system tells that "Sorry, no modem was detected", Yet in dmesg the system detects the modem. I am puzzled and looking for help from you members. Any help is highly welcome. Thank you. -- ..................................................................
