Theuns,
All other COMM channels except lo must be closed before starting a dialout,
or ppp0 will try to use an eth0 (for example) DNS specification, which
will not work.
Do:
$ ifconfig
(showing on my System)
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0d:88:9c:b1:a6
inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::20d:88ff:fe9c:b1a6/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:744 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:586 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:715449 (698.6 KB) TX bytes:137859 (134.6 KB)
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:2824 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:2824 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:141200 (137.8 KB) TX bytes:141200 (137.8 KB)
$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down
is necessary before starting a dialout. . Check first with:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0d:88:9c:b1:a6
inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::20d:88ff:fe9c:b1a6/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:744 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:586 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:715449 (698.6 KB) TX bytes:137859 (134.6 KB)
Also you may need to use a Country setting in wvdial.conf
though it may carryover in the firmware from the last Microsoft usage
9f is the South Africa hexadecimal country code, so try an
Init3 = AT+CGI=9f
