Hi all.

I just set up ukonline opensurf unmeterd internet acess thing but wvdial bums out with exit code #16 "a modem hung up the phone" I can connect to totalise isp no problem.. any ideas? he is wvdial settings:


[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS2
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = <08089933259>
Username = mr*******
Password = *********


is this all normal? should i include the DNS adresses - it says its server assigned ont he website. i phoned the support helpline they are nothing but friendly muppets.

Variant,
what does a show?

I'm guessing that it's failing on the CHAP/PAP bit. Have you setup your userid and password in the PAP and CHAP secret files (somewhere in /etc/)?

have fun

Nerderello
ps. what part of the Shetlands are you on? I, many years ago, lived on Unst.

/etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets are both empty files. also normal users cant run wvdial - it says device busy so at the momment i can only run it as root :o. I really have no idea when it comes to setting up ppp in linux as this is the first time i have had to use it. (i lived with my brother for a few years up untill now and used his connection over the network)

I live in Quarff a few miles south of lerwick.. how long ago were you in unst? are you a shetlander by birth? Norik beach owns! ( i allwase holiday in unst)

gwalters

I got the same error. The first time I had suse installed it worked fine then i borked it and i got the error....i havent been able to fix it so eventualy i set my xp (gag) puter up as a router/ICS. I dont know how to fix it but your not alone and im gonna watch this thread.

<edit>I forgot...I had to use setserial to get the modem to work and if you specify 'no-hup' or something like that (its in the man pages) it doesnt work either.</edit>

how can i configure this connection to work with wvdial in gentoo?

Hellmasker

taht last output tells me its using chap authentiaction. u need to add to /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
"username" * "password"

and then it shoudl go. if it doesnt try readign thru my similar problem here

http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/vie...507&highlight=

there is a link to a tutorial at the end which is real useful

hope this helps at least 1 of u

exeptional. thanks bud that fixed me up totaly! I was the chap-secrets thing after all.

Variant,
no, I'm not an islander. I was up in Saxa Vord (nr Haroldswick) many years ago with the forces.

Glad you got the internet working.

PS. the "tail" command is just like "cat" and "head" and I thought were part of all Linuxs. As you know "cat" shows all of the files contents, "Head" does the first 30 lines and tail does the last 30 (unless you tell it otherwise).

And as for the message logs, I though that they too were in the same place (/var/log/) in all Linuxs.

have fun
