[Voyage-linux] Huawei E160

[Robert Rawlins - Think Blue]

O.K. Jordi that sounds good! I have my supposed APN/Username/Password here.

I've configured pppconfig with my username, password and the telephone
number as *99#, does that sound correct?

Then I run 'pon o2' which seems to go ok, I then get a new ppp device listed
under 'ifconfig'. However, I'm unable to ping any external addresses such as
www.google.co.uk I'm wondering if this is a DNS issue?. When configuring
pppconfig it asks if the DNS is static, dynamic or none, which of these
should I be choosing?

Also, how would you recommend I set this so that the connection is
established on boot? The idea being that these are remote systems out in the
field and I need them auto-connect and ensure they stay connected.

Many thanks mate,

Rob

I didn't do anything special. I connected the device and configured
the device with pppconfig.Wvdial works fine too.
The most difficult part is knowing the apn, username and passwords of
the different isps.
