Hmmm.. not sure about the internet thingy. Wait for someone to reply who's been using it.

To safely remove hardware - right click on the drive icon > Unmount Volume.

Ok thanks for the usb tip.

This what I typed in the terminal:
prasad@Prasad:~$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

In Airtel Mobile Office there is no username and password to give. In Windows I used to leave those fields blank. Why do things have to be so complicated in Linux? I have lost half my hair in trying to make this thing work. I tried all the tutorials and followed them properly. Still it doesn't work.

When in the dayz I used to use Airtel GPRS in Chandigarh the username was my cellphone number prefixed by 91 and the password was 1234. Not sure if things haf changed now.

But why are the phone number, username and password in wvdial preceded by a ; ?

In windows you have to install the drivers and pc suitefor your phone but in linux its like plug and play.

@ krazzy

Perhaps the problem is with your mobile not Ubuntu because for Nokia sets modem should be manually initialized, so try this..

In the file wvdial.conf
Append this:
Code: 
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”airtelgprs.com”,”",0,0
After this line:
Code: 
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0

So your new file should look like this:
Code: 
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”airtelgprs.com”,”",0,0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = *99***1#
ISDN = 0
Password = b
Username = a
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800

Then trying dialing and report your error here..

I remember my window$ days when I used this extra string for modem initialization using Mobile Office, specially for Nokia sets.. And there is no harm in trying...

His only problem is, atleast for now, that his username, password and phone lines are commented out.

Guys guys, chill. I don't have Ubuntu anymore on my PC. Since the internet was not working, I uninstalled it and installed XP again (since there is only enough space for one OS on my HDD). I was running out of patience and having to pay 15 bucks for Mobile Office for a day and only using it on your phone and not on the PC is a waste.

Plug and play?? Dude are we talking about the same OS here?

And as for Windows, PC suite is only required if you wanna connect it through the USB cable. If want to connect it through Bluetooth, the way I do, then there is no need for PC Suite. I just install the drivers for the built-in bluetooth in my lappy, and a couple of clicks later, I'm online. No need to mess with some terminal and type some mumbo jumbo. Perfect for a n00b like me. And I used the same number that I was talking about earlier - *99***#.

So I think I'll just be sticking to Windows, I guess. An OS without internet is no more useful than my appendix to me. ;-)

Please help. I am connecting using data cable and wvdial.conf looks like that

[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = *99#
ISDN = 0
Username = none
Init1 = ATZ
Password = none
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 46080
stupid mode = 1

What ISP?
I setup GPRS on my sister's Nokia 3500 Classic, with hutch connection, it was all too easier than I thought.

Hi everybody. I was surfing the Internet trying to find a way to connect my laptop when I will be on holiday and I stumbled upon this topic which seemed to be exactly what I needed.

Then, if I open any browser, it takes a *LOT* of time trying to load the page, and without any result.

I also tried to type
sudo route add default ppp0
Click to expand...
as someone suggested on page 4, but without any improvement.

I run Fedora 6.

Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.
