Forrest, You need to edit the file /etc/wvdial.conf Please run $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf remove the ";" from the file add your username, password and ISP phone number. It should look like [Dialer Defaults] Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = Analog Modem Phone = YOUR_ISP's PHONE NUMBER GOES HERE ISDN = 0 Username = YOUR_USERNAME Init1 = ATZ Password = YOUR_PASSWORD Modem = /dev/ttyHSF0 <--- this could be your modem port? Baud = 460800 Carrier Check = No Stupid Mode = 1 Save the file after editing it, and try to connect again. If you are able to connect, but you cannot browse, please do the following: $ sudo cp /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf and check the connection with $ sudo ifconfig -a you can safely turn off eth0, eth1 on your machine if they are present $ sudo ifconfig eth0 down and try to connect $ sudo wvdial Let us know how this goes.
