Hello everyone..

I have dual boot of windows xp and ubuntu,I am using internet through a usb modem
(reliance zte MG 880) in windows xp.How can i use this usb modem in ubuntu??

Thanks..

STEP 1: Enter the command."sudo pico /etc/wvdial.conf" (You will be asked to enter the admisnistrator password). This will open the file wvdial.conf.


or enter the following commend


sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

STEP 2: Delete the complete contents and paste the following in that file.

[Modem0]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 115200
SetVolume = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Init1 = ATZ
FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS)
[Dialer cdma]
Username = 9380689709
Password = 9380689709
Phone = #777
Stupid Mode = 1
Inherits = Modem0

STEP 3: The Username and password in the above content should be your reliance net connect number

STEP 4: Now everything is set for you to connect.

For connecting go to Terminal and enter
"sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0xfffd".
This command is for ZTE MG 880 cards only for other cards it is different. It will ask you to enter a password. Now enter your administrator password.
Then type "sudo wvdial cdma" now the following thing will appear in your Terminal.


--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ

--> pppd: h�[06][08]h�[06][08]��[06][08]
--> primary DNS address 202.138.103.100
--> pppd: h�[06][08]h�[06][08]��[06][08]
--> secondary DNS address 202.138.96.2
--> pppd: h�[06][08]h�[06][08]��[06][08]

This shows your connected to the internet.
Open your firefox browser and start browsing.

Note:
Everytime you may have to type the last two commands to connect to internet.
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0xfffd
sudo wvdial cdma

otherwise " wvdial cdma" is enough

Thank you...

it works in Ubuntu, but when i try this configuration in Redhat Linux , terminal shows that i am connected to internet,it also give me ipaddress,primary dns address and 2ndry dns server address but when i open firefox, it gives me error you are not connected to internet or ping to some domains like ping Yahoo!, reply that unknown host.

make sure that you are not in offline. if yes then go to file and un check work offline...
