Hello all Could anyone please give me a tutorial about setting up internet connection using GPRS/EDGE enabled mobile on openSuSE 11.1 (gnome) ?
I have downloaded openSuSE 11.1 gnome live CD and tried many ways to connect to the internet using my SonyEricsson k550i. The network manager applet on Ubuntu 8.10 or Linux Mint 6 was very handy and could let me connect to the internet using the mobile right away from the live CD, just had to specify GrameenPhone as the operator. But in openSuSE 11.1, the network manager could not find any network operator when I command it to 'SCAN' for networks. Moreover, it somehow deletes all the data accounts from my mobile itself and set my mobile in 'FLIGHT MODE'. Anyway, then [after rebooting] I tried to use YaST modem setup to configure the mobile modem manually. But still no luck. No internet connection. But the data accounts were intact and my phone was not set to flight mode. Then I tried "wvdialconf" and edited "wvdial.conf" thereafter. This time the computer connects to the mobile phone. But if I ping any site, it says "cannot resolve hostname". After getting this message, I edited the "ip-up.local" file as following a tutorial like this: cat > /etc/ppp/ip-up.local #!/bin/sh mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.bak cp /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf chmod 644 /etc/resolv.conf <press Ctrl-D here> chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local But still no luck. Could anyone please help connect to the internet from openSuSE 11.1? I'll prefer GUI solution [like "gnome-ppp" on Hardy]. But command line solutions are welcome as well. Sorry for my long mail. Thank you in advance. -- Hafiz Imtiaz 0306005 EEE,BUET PH: 01915698207 www.hafizimtiaz.co.nr -- Ubuntu Bangladesh mailing list ubuntu-bd@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bd
