Hello, I followed Jacques hints and I keep getting the same kind of result. I disabled local network and used /sbin/ifconfig eth0 down to remove any reference to the router. I also changed ISP but no results, looks like my login details are not accepted and I'm sure about those. Here below the WvDial log with the alternative ISP. >>> WvDial<*1>: WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 WvModem<*1>: Cannot set information for serial port. WvDial<*1>: Initializing modem.
