Connecting via Tata Indicom LG 350T Walky

[desertwind]

I was trying to connect to internet using my new Tata Indicom Walky via usb cable. It's connecting on my friends lappy (using Win XP, and the dialer that comes with the cable). But in my GNU box (Sabayon GNU/Linux) i configured wvdial, but it refuses to connect. Anyone who's able to connect successully can share their xperience.

This the output of wvdial

--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: AT+CRM=1
AT+CRM=1
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT#777
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT#777
CONNECT
--> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Tue Nov 28 23:04:16 2006

--> Disconnecting at Tue Nov 28 23:04:17 2006
--> The PPP daemon has died: No ppp module error (exit code = 4)
--> man pppd explains pppd error codes in more detail.
--> I guess that's it for now, exiting
--> The PPP daemon has died. (exit code = 4)


and this is my wvdial.conf

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = #777
Dial Command = ATDT
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = AT+CRM=1
FlowControl= Hardware (CRTSCTS)
Username = internet
Password = internet
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Stupid Mode = 1
Baud = 115200

try this^^ and also try changing the usb modem with "Analog Modem"

[desertwind]

I'll try that for sure. But the same password 'internet' was working on my friends pc.

[knight17]

I am also using the password "internet" to connect walky in XP.

[Desi-Tek.com]

either use r connect script... i was using rconnect script in past to connect net viat tata walky.

or
first fire this command as root
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial
than type this command in terminal again as root
nano /etc/ppp/options

and add #in line where ever u find lcp

[desertwind]

The problem was with the pppd which is unsupported in that kernel. A bit of googling did the trick. Working perfectly now in FC6 with same conf file.

[mehulved]

BTW, forgot to ask you, what kernel version was that?

[desertwind]

I think it's 2.6 itself. But i don't think it's a problem with kernel version. Most prolly, the kernel will be compiled without pppd module. Anyway, I wanted to go back to FC, and is quite happy now.

@Learner_Learner. You better change your avatar (pic). Since @Tuxfan is already using this avatar!!!

[desertwind]

You can follow the config file that i've provided. It works perfectly for USB cable.

enter 'sudo wvdial' after configuring. you'll find something similar to below in output

--> primary DNS address 203.197.12.30
--> pppd: 3
--> secondary DNS address 202.54.1.18

Note that down and enter into resolv.conf

[mehulved]

@JGuru, it's OK for him to have that pic. A few others on the forum have it too.

[RajuTiwari]

but i,m succesfully connected through serial cable but every 10 minuts aftter my system hangs.plzz help me

[desertwind]

if you're connecting through usb cable, change your baud rate in phone to "USB".

and then run wvdialconf.

If your modem is successfully detected, edit your /etc/wvdial.conf accordingly.

[LEARNER_LEARNER]

I tried brother but my computer saying :-
-->Wvdial: internet dialer version 1.54.0
-->warning:section [Dialer Defaults] does not exist inwvdial.conf.
-->cannot open usb modem:No such file or directory
-->cannot open usb modem:No such file or directory
-->cannot open usb modem:No such file or directory
Help me brother.

These are the steps that need to be followed

Check out whether you have wvdial software installed in your system. For FC4 it is automatically installed, so no issues..

Check in which serial port you have attached the modem (ie WFP) Normally it is ttyS0 or ttyS1

Login as Root user and check the following command “wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf” works..

Finally you should get something like this

“Found a modem on /dev/ttyS0.
Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf.
ttyS0<Info>: Speed 115200; init “ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0″

Next thing is we need to edit the wvdial.conf file, Add the following contents there..

[Modem0]
Modem=/dev/ttyS1
Baud=115200
Dial Command = ATDT
init1=ATZ
init2=AT+CRM=1
Flow Control= Hardware (CRTSCTS)
[Dialer reliance]
Username = YourUserName
Password = YourPassword
Phone = #777
Stupid Mode = 1
Inherits= Modem0

Close the file after saving the contents

Now type in “wvdial reliance” in the prompt … you should get the following

[root@localhost ~]# wvdial reliance
–> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.54.0
–> Initializing modem.
–> Sending: ATZ
–> Sending: ATQ0
OK
–> Re-Sending: ATZ

OK
–> Sending: ATM0
ATM0
OK
–> Modem initialized.
–> Sending: ATDT#777
–> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT#777
CONNECT
–> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
–> Starting pppd at Mon Jul 29 00:28:24 2002
–> pid of pppd: 2919
–> Using interface ppp0
–> local IP address 220.226.33.135
–> remote IP address 97.238.2.7
–> primary DNS address 202.138.103.100
–> secondary DNS address 202.138.96.2

Now open up your fav browser.. in my case it is firefox.. jus type in any url and chk if net is working. If it works, you wil be lucky, if not, jus start the service named “service named start”

[root@localhost etc]# service named start
Starting named: [ OK ]

Now if you go back to the previous step.. and chk the pages it would probably load...

[diba_perfect]

got a very unique problem..dunno whether ne1 else has ever faced this or not..whenever I surf the net using the USB-Modem arrangement in my walky the connexion gets d/c even with the slightest of the electrical disturbances(like switching on a light, connecting the charger, voltage fluctuations)..this results in a d/c every 10-15 mins..just clueless abt how 2 get rid of this bug!!it's very very frustrating indeed to reconnect it time and again like this..even the connection says "modem not found" when I try 2 reconnect immediately after d/c..it's then that I have to manually unplug and 're-plug' the USB connexion at the back of my desktop that the modem is "found" again..real irritating stuff..result of a poor quality intrument I guess..

[Desi-Tek.com]

only option is use serial cable! If u want more info about it than search rimweb.in in rconnect section.
and this is not a linux problem it has something to do with usb.
