Re: [ubuntu-uk] 3 Mobile USB modem
Hi, taken from: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=262867 *OK - PRETTY MUCH DISREGARD MOST ALL OF MY ABOVE POSTINGS AS I BRANCHED OFF THE WRONG TRACKS. MY HUAWEI E220 USB IS NOW WORKING*. == = The Huawei E220 is a USB 'dongle' for HSDPA connection through (for me, anyway) the Vodaphone network in New Zealand. When inserted into a Ubuntu OS, it is immediately detected as a SCSI/CDROM type bulk storage device, and the files that are used by Windows appear attached to the filesystem similar to any other USB storage device. Close any window that might be showing you those files. Then unmount the device (eject the CDROM icon you'll find on the desktop created when you inserted the device). All commands I give here are just the commands - you will likely need to put *'sudo'* in front of them so you have the permissions of root to carry them out... Insert the device and give it a chance to settle down (enjoy watching the lights flash...) When you insert the device and it gets recognised as a storage device, it will have created /dev/ttyUSB0. You can see that with: *ls -la /dev/ttyU** You will likely only see one entry: ttyUSB0. To make the modem work, you must first remove the module that is used for usb-storage devices. You can do that with: *rmmod usb-storage* If you are told it is in use, that is an indication you didn't close windows and eject the device first. This next command may not be absolutely necessary, but it won't hurt anything (heh, heh...): *rmmod usb-serial* You are now going to re-insert that module, but giving the specific details of your modem. First, make sure you have the right details by using: *lsusb* You should see an entry similar to this in the output: *Bus 004 Device 004: ID 12d1:1003 * The Bus and/or Device number might be different for you, but the important part is the ID. If yours is not 12d1:1003, you'll need to modify the next command, but I *think* it will be either that or 12d1:1001... This command will insert the module with the device specific details: *modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003* Now, remove the device, wait a bit for things to settle, and then plug it back in. I *think* you may now have maybe three entries if you do: ls -la /dev/ttyU* Basically, what has been done is that you have removed the initial inclination to treat the device only as a bulk storage (removing the module that handles that). You've also manually caused the recognition of the device (using the modprobe command). So that when you re-plugged it, it should now be able to work with the *modem* part of the device addressing it as /dev/ttyUSB0, rather than that being the bulk storage device. Use a text editor such as pico to edit or create if necessary the file to handle the dialling configuration. My /etc/wvdial.conf file looks like this: *# wvdial for Vodacom Data. Created by Tazz_tux # Version 1.0 # Change Log: # # Added support for HSDPA. # Added Headers and version control. [Dialer Defaults] Phone = *99***1# Username = username Password = password Stupid Mode = 1 Dial Command = ATDT [Dialer hsdpa] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 460800 Init2 = ATZ Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 C1 D2 +FCLASS=0 ISDN = 0 Modem Type = Analog Modem * I've only put in the relevant sections - the full file can be found at the address below this posting. You can dial the modem with: *wvdial hsdpa* If all is happy, you'll see the messages in the terminal window to show how it is connecting, your IP address, your remote gateway and 2 nameservers the network provides for you. Do remember the various need for 'sudo' unless you change ownerships/permissions. In particular, if it looks like you've connected but are not able to connect to any sites, etc, look for a message telling you that /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets are not able to be written to - that may well indicate that you for sure need to run the wvdial command as sudo (If you are running it as a normal user, that user would need to have the ability to write to those files for the connection to be able to work...) I am writing this while standing on the shoulders of the knowledgeable and the helpful. In particular, see http://www.mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=21726 - Post 1 in that thread, and Tazz_Tux who wrote and maintains it, has been invaluable. Go there if for no other reason than to get the latest version of wvdial.conf Enjoy your Huawei E220 under Ubuntu!

If you can ping from the client through the gateway and your router and get a reply back, then basic routing seems to be working. Your comment above implies it may be a DNS problem. If you type host www.ubuntu.com in a terminal window, do you get a sensible response? Is the client getting its IP address and DNS information via DHCP from the gateway? What has it provided for the address of the DNS server? If it's the gateway, then you should check the gateway is configured to act as a DNS proxy, or you could set the DNS address manually in the client (edit resolv.conf) to the address of the ISP's DNS and see if that helps.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Central authentication in Ubuntu
It did with NIS I had to give the clients the IP address of the NIS server and edit the user and password files to point there (best way i could think of saying it). This was carried out by editing various text files in /etc In fact looking back on it, apart from some head bang wall moments, it was quite simple if you followed the guides. If you dont want to edit the files, Bimble over to http://www.webmin.com/ and have a look. I found this the other day and you install it on the server machine to give you a web interface for pretty much everything. If i had known about it at the beginning it would been easier to set the system up but at least i have managed to get some command line experience.
