Re: [SLUG] wvdial

DNS has nothing to do with wvdial. Normally it would be set up when ppp negotiates the link. (Normally in 'stupid' mode) To set DNS manually, enter the nameservers of your ISP into /etc/resolv.conf: /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver nameserver Hope this helps, Andy Geoffrey Cowling wrote

[SLUG] wvdial

Having had my hand helo by KDE I am with Debian almost in a Catch-22 situation, not being able to upgrade until I can access the internet. Using wvdial I can log on, get ppp (with its PID), but clearly have no access to DNS. (URL, unless = number, times out). The man page speaks of a Check DNS (p

HELP! This is driving me crazy and I'm sure it is simple. I want an ordinary user to be able to dial out using wvdial. It works as root, but when tried with an ordinary user I get: --->cannot open /dev/modem: Device or resource busy Both wvdial.conf and /dev/ttyS1 are owned by root and in group

Slug, I'm trying to get Wvdial to send a number to my ISP after sending the username and password, but to no avail. I tried adding a default reply so it would answer with the menu selection I required but it still starts pppd automatically when the script hasn't selected the menu option to s

Just fine-tuning my gateway machine, and I noticed that we had been disconnected, and then re-connected. Does anyone know if wvdial logs these connection attempts anywhere ? The MAN pages don't make specific mention of a log file. -- Regards, Jon
