That is an old problem and here is the solution
Q1. Internet connected successfully but page is not opening.
Ans. fire up following command
Code:
gedit /etc/resolv.conf
and enter this
Code:
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
Now u will be able to open web page without any problem.
Q2 when ever i try to connect internet i get this error (Device or Resource busy)
Ans: this is the common problem with dialup connection via dial up.
Possible solution.
1. remove usb cable from the port and reinsert it. If that not help than.
2. run following command
Code:
wvdialconf /etc/wvdialconf
it will remap ur usb port to ttyACMO1or 2
and than fire up this command
Q3 connection is taking long time to open any site and some time it doesn’t open any site at all until i disconnect and connect the net again.
Ans this is the common problem in dialup.
possible solution:- open terminal and type this
hit enter any minimize the terminal
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life is much better in ubuntu. ubuntu automatically update the dns server detail in resolv.conf whenever user dial dialup connection. and ubuntu automatically update the wvdial.conf file with dialup/phone setting whenever user fireup this command
sudo wvdialconf
but on other distro user have to enter following command to update wvdial.conf file
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
as root
