Hello all, I earlier had a Huawei EC1261-based USB modem which used to connect smoothly to the internet under FreeBSD 8.2 using the u3g module. For some reasons, I have had to switch to another provider (MTS) who swapped the Huawei EC1261-based USB modem with a Huawei EC1561-based USB modem. And my FreeBSD system cannot connect to the internet anymore. Here are the contents of my ppp.conf (I assume authkey means password) : default: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command allow users bourne set device /dev/cuaU0.0 set speed 115200 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \ \"\" AT OK-AT-OK AT&FE0V1X1&D2&C1S0=0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" set timeout 180 # 3 minute idle timer (the default) enable dns # request DNS info (for resolv.conf) huawei: set phone "#777" set login set authname "internet@internet.mtsindia.in" set authkey "MTS" set timeout 0 disable ipv6cp set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR set dial AT+CRM=1 accept CHAP The u3g module is loaded at boot-time via /etc/rc.local : kldload u3g sleep 3 ppp -auto huawei I am using opendns/google servers for DNS in resolv.conf : 208.67.222.222 8.8.8.8 DNS cannot really be an issue because when I ping the IP address 208.67.222.222, I get 100% packet loss. Can someone please point me in the right direction so that my FreeBSD system starts connecting to the internet using the new modem ? Thank you & -- Regards, Manish Jain +91-99620-10329
