I had not noticed this, did you really have it ?????
nameserver itelefonica.com.br must make your address conversion fail.
The primary purpose of the Domain Name Server is like a telephone
directory: you know the name, and you need the number.
It can also work the other way: you know the number but not the name.
For any communication, the computer needs the NUMERIC address, just like
your phone.
Example using MY DNS to find the number of one of YOUR DNS's, and vice
versa:
[localhost] /home/goldberg > host 200.204.0.138
138.0.204.200.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer resolver2.telesp.net.br.
Jacques
[localhost] /home/goldberg > host resolver2.telesp.net.br
resolver2.telesp.net.br has address 200.204.0.138
Even with the correct DNS name
nameserver resolver2.telesp.net.br
you could not surf or use other communications applications because your
computer needs the numeric address of resolver2.telesp.net.br to find
the numeris address of a Wed site or remote computer.
A good way to master Linux is to make use of the man command (man is
short for manual).
Try for example man resolv.conf and man host

Maybe you have not received this e-mail, as I didn't receive it on the

was in Fedora Core 6. I'll try another ISP later. The velocity connection is
the line on the wvdial output 'CONNECT 46667', meaning 46.7 kbps, isn't it? If
is it, it should be faster than it seems now.
begin of message:
Hi guys, I'm already writing to you from my new 'linmodem' connection!
Jacques, as you said, the ifconfig was showing one more interface than lo
and ppp0. It was showing virbr0, an ethernet connnection that was
misconfigured on the epoch of my Fedora 7 installation.
The problem was solved by simply getting rid of the line 'search
itelefonica.com.br' on /etc/resolv.conf and replacing 'nameserver
itelefonica.com.br' by simply 'nameserver'. At the end, I hav the following
/etc/resolv.conf:
#itelefonica.com.br
nameserver 200.204.0.138
nameserver 200.204.0.10
#ig.com.br
#nameserver 200.225.159.124
#nameserver 200.225.159.126
Where i have left the '#' lines just to be able to distinguish the ISPs.
Thank you guys, I'll try to follow the same steps when I upgrade to Fedora
8, until the end of the month (probably this week), and I will wait for your
news about Fedora 9, when you be able to deal with this distribution too.
Sorry for my poor English. I'll probably put all this work on a tutorial on
my webpage (if you agree), in Portuguese and English, giving you the credits,
of course.
In the future, take a look: http://www.astro.iag.usp.br/~jfernando

1-The address below is an ISP.
A dialer is not a place where you connect to but a program (example,
wvdial) which you use to connect.
Please try to use the right word, it helps understanding.
Ok, Jacques, the problem is that I was not complete on my explanation. As
you said, the address I have passed to you is an ISP, but they claim they have
a dialer (a program) also, which is specific for linux, besides the windows
version. They have the link to download this dialer on the frame 'Escolha o
seu sistema', which means 'Choose your Operational System'.
In this link, they say this dialer has been tested for Red Hat and
Conectiva.
I don't know if it is better to use this dialer than the wvdial, but I have
seen forums on the internet where they say this ISP is the best (the most
stable, maybe) one for linux.
2-All ISP's should work the same with ANY Linux. There is NO
dependence on WHICH Linux.
3-As soon as you get something like:
>>>>> --> local IP address 201.93.49.96
>>>>>> --> remote IP address 200.100.131.77
>>>>>> --> primary DNS address 200.204.0.138
>>>>>> --> secondary DNS address 200.204.0.10
YOUR MODEM WORKS
The problem is a bad definition.
The connection should work without using /etc/resolv.conf if
/etc/wvdial.conf contains
Auto DNS = yes
UNLESS the gateway is not properly set.
Connect again and get
>>>>> --> local IP address 201.93.49.96
>>>>>> --> remote IP address 200.100.131.77
>>>>>> --> primary DNS address 200.204.0.138
>>>>>> --> secondary DNS address 200.204.0.10
The local and remote IP's may change, they will probably change.
DO NOT TRY TO SURF. DO NOT STOP THE CONNECTION.
Open an other window and there give the command:
/sbin/route -n
There is a line starting with 0.0.0.0 . If the second address is not
the same as the remote IP shown by wvdial then the Gateway is not
properly set. Then, /sbin/ifconfig may show you more interface
blocks than lo and ppp0 These would be things such as a wireless or
an Ethernet connection running at the same time: you must stop them!
Why? Because no program can know if you want to talk to the world
with the modem or whatever. You can TRY (success not guaranteed) to
add in /etc/wvdial.conf Check Def Route = yes
Jacques
Yes, I have the line 'Auto DNS = yes' on /etc/wvdial.conf and my wvdial
complains about /etc/resolv.conf. I will try your tips as soon as I arrive at
home, where I have the dial-up connection.
Thank you.

Another option: I have found a Brazilian dialer that is said to work with
linux:
http://www.ibest.com.br/site/discador/
They say it was tested with Red Hat 7.2, 7.3 and 8 and Conectiva 8. So,
probably, it can work with Fedora 7 (or 8), can't it?

Jose,
I took a look into the page
http://itelefonica.terra.com.br/ajuda/discador_a.htm
and looks like the ISP works more with windows
O discador é compatível com todos os sistemas operacionais?
Não. O discador é compatível somente com Windows 95, 98, ME, NT,
2000 e XP.
Translation.
Is this service compatible with other operative systems?
No, It is designed and compatible with only Windows 95, 98, ME, NT,
2000 e XP.
However, do not let this discourage you. Marv, Jacques and others on
this list are very capable and can share with you as how go about it
and get connected with linux.

Use the numbers and add a corresponding nameserver on
them so that /etc/resolv.conf looks like
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search example.net
nameserver 200.204.0.138
nameserver 200.204.0.10
This should get you connected, if this does not

Is these 2 last numbers that I have to put on the
/etc/resolv.conf file? Is
the name server the name of the server I want to
connect to? Should it be
given the complete server name, with dots?
I have already tried all of it, but I'm still not
able to browse. Either I
did not understand this step or the nameserver I
have is wrong. I have tried
itelefonica.com.br, which is the last part of my
dialer login.
Thank you.

Jose,
Check to see if NetworkManager and NetworkManager
dispatcher are running
# chkconfig NetworkManager --list
if they are on, turn them off by doing a
# service NetworkManager off
and turn it off from starting completely do a
# chkconfig NetworkManager off
then look for your settings ie, which DNS(Domain
Name Servers) you
need for your ISP, and put them into your
/etc/resolv.conf an
example would be
cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 19.190.128.1
nameserver 19.195.128.1
Also turn off eth0 connection by doing a
# ifconfig eth0 down
then try to connect again.
HTH,
Antonio

for a working example you may look here for
automation
http://www20.brinkster.com/olivares/slmodemd-setup-1.html
I did not update it for Fedora 7/8 but it works
the
same, you can add the line that Marv told you to
/etc/modprobe.conf as su -(Super User), then
also # cp
slmodem-2.9.11-20080417/scripts/slmodemd
/etc/rc.d/init.d/
# cd /etc/rc.d/init.d/
[root@localhost init.d]# chmod +x slmodemd
[root@localhost init.d]# chkconfig slmodemd
--add
[root@localhost init.d]# chkconfig slmodemd on
Should take care of it. You might need the
lines
modprobe ungrab-winmodem
modprobe slamr
in start procedure in the case that upon startup
you
see ``slmodemd dead but subsys locked'' message
start() {
modprobe ungrab-winmodem
modprobe slamr
echo -n "Starting SmartLink Modem driver

$SLMODEMD_DEVICE: "
$prog /dev/null 2>/dev/null \
