Re: Re: ppp/wvdial help!
Hi, I am trying wvdial as normal user and its giving errors saying no permissions to /dev/modem and only getting connected when I am trying with root previlages. how ever if I am using as normal user, I am forced to run wvdial.conf once again to make the modem work efficiently. I would like to know the way in which I can probably dial as a non-previlaged user. Thanks in advance -- +9880025682 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
RE: ppp/wvdial help!
hi, I take the /etc/resolv.conf file from my redhat system and copyed it to the debian. Now the debian system tried to get a ping or... Before that it immediately told me: ping: Unknow Host ... Now it searched and searched but nothing happend. maybe, the problem is that my provider gave me a changing IP.?? Marc -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net

This kind of problem on Mandrake was typically caused by not having the DNS numbers you need in that file. eg:- search localdomain nameserver 195.92.195.94 nameserver 195.92.195.95 Or whatever your ISP's nameservers happen to be (they should be able to tell you this - if not, ditch 'em!). The basic procedure as set out in the WVdial faq ia ---> snip <- 3. Quick start. Assuming everything works perfectly, the following will get you on-line if you're running as root. - wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf - vi /etc/wvdial.conf [edit username/password/phone] - vi /etc/resolv.conf [edit nameservers] - wvdial ---> snip <- Why not hide your current wvdial.conf and start again? Have you tried pppconfig with pon and poff? HTH Glyn M -- ** * "The soul is greater than the hum of its parts. " * * Douglas Hoftstatder* **
Re: ppp/wvdial help!
hi, I dont know if I`m really connected the ifconfig show me a entry for ppp0 but no packages were recieved. How can I look at the output from the ppp/options? After I had add debug nothing changed. And I think I have not entered a IP for DNS So I dont know what the problem is. Again the probleme is: i start wvdial I think it connect to my provider, it is the same wvdial.conf file as from my redhat system. So that is not the problem, the problem is if I try to ping or load ... nothing happens. Marc -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net
