Hi all, this is 2nd time now i am online with dialup in ubuntu but unlike with your above discussion, this time i have not touched any sl-modem-daemon or something for connecting i followed following steps 1) ifconfig 2) sudo ifconfig eth0 down 3) sudo ifconfig eth1 down 4) ifconfig - to check only lo is working 5) then, (this is still showing error ... but i do it without knowing reason) ankur@ankur:~$ sudo slmodemd -c INDIA --alsa hw:0,6 error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device 'hw:0,6': Device or resource busy error: cannot setup device `hw:0,6' 6) sudo wvdial then after waiting for 1 min i get connected ... but also find little issues ... 1) i do not know how to disconnect (i just closed terminal window .... is it ok ??) 2) if i get disconnected in between, then doing sudo wvdial again is not working ... also repeating the entire thing again is not working neither logout & login again is working ... for that i have to restart the laptop ... then repeating entire 6 steps above is conneting me to net. 3)Before this thing i tried with genome PPP ... I added the username password etc everything to it but this is not working for me. Ahmed --> ankur@ankur:~$ cat /proc/version_signature Ubuntu 2.6.28-15.49-generic All others, I will certainly do the diagnostics tests whatever you want ... but just tell me the things to do in a dumbo's language ... i am really new to linux & even by profession i am nowhere near to softwares ... so i may not understand your language ... so something like this is going above my head ---> " I understand from this that there is a problem with sl-modem-daemon package that comes with jaunty, and that you have used a package for somewhere else, may I know the problem with the sl-modem-daemon package that comes with Jaunty ?"
