Hi list, Please enlighten me if you have any experience with using the Tata Indicom USB Modem under the Plug 2 Surf scheme. I have recently taken their subscription and facing problems using it with Kubuntu 7.10 It works fine in windoze, but fails to get any data transfer in Linux. I tried connecting using wvdial and also using KPPP.
<snip>
Put following line in /etc/wvdial.conf Stupid mode = 1
<snip>
Am i missing out something while configuring the connection. Could this be an issue with the DNS? The same modem is working fine for windoze on the same machine.
check if you can ping them! ping 202.54.15.30 etc.. also if you might have eth0 or other interface on, check the default route # route -n

Thank you all; that was a great deal of help. I added the "Stupid Mode = yes" line in my /etc/wvdial.conf and that made wvdial to successfully get me connected, however that just took me one block ahead of where i was. It still isnt resolving any URLs. Firefox shows me the "Looking up...." msg for quite a looooooong time and then gives up eventually.
And if i got it right, i guess "disabling Carrier Check" is the same as adding the "stupid mode = yes" string in the conf file or is it something else?
Also, I tried using the OpenDNS service, by using their DNS server IP addresses, but it still changes back to another set of DNS ips the moment i disconnect and redial, may be because we are not assigned any static IPs by Tata Indicom(?)
Please help with this. Thanks a ton in advance.
PS: Please confirm if the list received multiple copies (7) of my mail in the beginning of this thread. I regret any inconvenience to you because of that if the list did receive all those mails shown to me only in my web-mail interface. I had no idea about them when i sent out the mail using Mozilla Thunderbird.
