Adam,
Please rather than gnomeppp, setup for dialout instead with
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Enter your personal info with
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
following the guidance in wvdial.txt
Do
$ ifconfig
to assess in any COMM channels except "lo" are open. On my System now:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:45:26:46:e1
inet addr:10.0.0.2 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::240:45ff:fe26:46e1/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:2480 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:1937 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:2968819 (2.8 MB) TX bytes:309919 (302.6 KB)
Interrupt:20 Base address:0xe800
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:2655 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:2655 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:132840 (129.7 KB) TX bytes:132840 (129.7 KB)
So eth0 most be closed with:
$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down
Similarly for any wireless channels, or else DNS (navigation) will faile
You should be able to dialout with:
$ sudo wvdial
If numeric address
$ ping -c 2 72.14.207.99
PING 72.14.207.99 (72.14.207.99) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 72.14.207.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=242 time=72.0 ms
64 bytes from 72.14.207.99: icmp_seq=2 ttl=242 time=75.3 ms
is successfull, you are on the Internet
But if the corresponding Named Address
$ ping -c 2 google.com
PING google.com (72.14.207.99) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from eh-in-f99.google.com (72.14.207.99): icmp_seq=1 ttl=242
time=80.0 ms
64 bytes from eh-in-f99.google.com (72.14.207.99): icmp_seq=2 ttl=242
time=79.2 ms
fails, then there is a DNS service problem
