Some success! That's good. I'm not sure what more you need to do. I just checked out wvdial again, but it's not finding the modem at the moment (something about needing to do 'setserial'). I hardly use it actually, since I have DSL at home. But I remember when it did work, I got that same message 'Don't know what to do' 'Starting pppd and hoping for the best' So you're on the right track! Check your net connection first via 'route -n'. Is it there? Can you ping to an IP address? If so, then you must need to type in the DNS servers, into /etc/resolv.conf, like they said before. > > > > >Have you set up apt?
