bn881jj, This means that wvdial did not find a valid username, ISP phone and password, which you will need to edit and add your information there :) ; Phone = <Target Phone Number> ; Username = <Your Login Name> ; Password = <Your Password> Edit your file, $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf and remove the ";", which means there is a comment and that line is not executed. And make the changes Phone = PUT_YOUR_ISP_PHONENUMBER_HERE Username = YOUR_USERNAME Password = PUT_YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE Then try to connect/dialout. You might get connected, but not be able to browse. The wvdial part will return some values, like CONNECT 49333 V44 --> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately. --> Starting pppd at Sun Mar 28 22:02:30 2010 --> Pid of pppd: 7241 --> Using interface ppp0 --> pppd: H¹[06][08]èÁ[06][08] --> pppd: H¹[06][08]èÁ[06][08] --> pppd: H¹[06][08]èÁ[06][08] --> pppd: H¹[06][08]èÁ[06][08] --> primary DNS address 124.55.66.109 --> pppd: H¹[06][08]èÁ[06][08] --> secondary DNS address 124.55.66.110 --> pppd: H¹[06][08]èÁ[06][08] Add those numbers that come out with DNS addresses, put them into a file /etc/resolv.conf $ sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf and put something like nameserver 124.55.66.109 nameserver 124.55.66.110 then you should be able to browse. Hope this helps.
