Internet Connection in Linux via Mobile

1.Connect the mobile via USB cable.

2. Open terminal and type su to become root.

3. It will ask for the root password, type in there.

4. Then Issue this command

Code:

wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

Phone wud b detected as Modem

5. Then to Edit this file, open it in a Text Editor
Code is

Code:

kwrite  /etc/wvdial.conf

When we issued command in point 4, it showed the address of ur phone that in which USB port it has been connected. note it down from there.
"Modem = /dev/***"

6. When Text Editor opens the file, erase everything from there and Paste the following:

Code:

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0  # <-- Replace it with the reading you got 
Phone = *99#
Username = aa
Password = bbc
Baud = 230400
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Carrier Check = No

The mOdem has been configured successfully.

To dial the internet conenction type

Code:

wvdial

If eerything goes fine it wud say that connected successfully.
Press Ctrl+C to disconnect.

thanks mods 4 stick this thread..... lets have to try it on linux.....
and is this works on all distros???

yes, works for almost all major distros, except in Fedora Core 6 you need to edit the resolv.conf to get the thing to work.

Is that a bug? I don't see why it wouldn't work properly unless there's a bug.

If its true then Post that too

wat abt bt

It's not a bug. The default firewall policy makes it that way. All you have to do note down the primary and secondary dns when connecting for the first time and add these to /etc/resolv.conf in the following format.

nameserver ip

eg:

nameserver 192.127.0.1
nameserver 192.127.0.2

^^ these always remains the same??

desertwind said:

Can you explain more on this. I don't understand much about firewalls yet.

SELinux has three modes. Enforcing, Permissive and Disabled.

The default policy is Enforcing. In Enforcing mode, the kernel will block all access unless they are explicitly allowed. That's what we're doing by adding the dns server address to resolv.conf

Manshahia said:
^^ these always remains the same??

Nope. They are just examples for how to enter it. It varies for different ISPs. When you're connected using wvdial, you'll get your primary and secondary dns displayed in the output. copy them and add it to resolv.conf.

The default policy is Enforcing. In Enforcing mode, the kernel will block all access unless they are explicitly allowed. That's what we're doing by adding the dns server address to resolv.conf

So, is it SELinux that's blocking it or the firewall? And is SELinux really needed for home users?

^^ It's not very well needed unless they are connected to outside world by any mean.

A Linux kernel integrating SELinux enforces mandatory access control policies that confine user programs and system servers to the minimum amount of privilege they require to do their jobs. This reduces or eliminates the ability of these programs and daemons to cause harm when compromised (via buffer overflows or misconfigurations, for example).

can we apply this theory for Live CD's also???? i have some live CD's.... i want to use net on those.... please guys i am new to linux....

M

Yeah should work with live cd's too, since wvdial is present.
Pathiks just connect your phone with BT and follow this tut. It should find the modem at /dev/rfcomm0 most prolly.

tech_your_future said:
Is that a bug? I don't see why it wouldn't work properly unless there's a bug.

even after disabling SELinux and Firewall, fedora won't find the DNS Servers and you have to add them manually to /etc/resolv.conf

for airtel, all you have to do is add

Code:

nameserver 202.56.230.5
nameserver 202.56.230.6

to /etc/resolv.conf

and Manshahia bro, edit the first post, the second step make it "su" instead of "SU"

^^^^^^^^^^
DONE

@ tech_your_future:

I'm facing problems pairing my phone with my Pc in Ubuntu 6.10
I've followed all the steps properly and have cross checked them innumerable times.
The primary problem you see is that the rfcomm0 device is not getting created in /dev/...

I tried all the steps as a root. I've referred to many online guides as to how-to go about doing it, but to not avail.
The problem is that My phone gets identified in the device scan, It also pairs with the computer, but the rfcomm0 modem devices isn't created. I don't know how to make Ubuntu do it.

Please point me to any one who has succesfully initiated airtel gprs connection in ubuntu using his Phone as a modem connected via bluetooth.

cheers.

Just check one of the threads on Suse, it's on the first page itself. I had given how to make frcomm dev, to Pathiks.

I'm using Open Suse 10.2 I can't save wvdian.conf after editing it. It says you do not have enough privileages to do so. Help Me!

you can try

Code:

~$gksu kate /etc/wvdial.conf

and check whether u can save it

freebird said:

Okay i'll check that. Thanks

Even this didn't work. Here's snapshot of the error which i get.
Tell me what should i do?

You r files are trying to save in yo home dir!
first open nautilus or konqueror and browse and check u have all the dirs!
open a terminal and i belive u r in gnome,

Code:

~$su  -
(give root password)
~#

now the terminal prompt will be a "#"
then run:

Code:

~#nano   -w /etc/wvdial.conf

add ur values and after finishing press CTRL+X to exit and nano will prompt u to save the file.press yes.
your attach shows that ur saving /home/xxx;while u need to save in the directory /etc

M

It's supposed to be /etc/wvdial.conf and not etc/wvdial.conf. The former is relative path. You need to supply the full path name cos you are currently in your home directory.

do copy paste the code posted

i suppose u hav already tried this... if u havent then do it..
type "su" at the konsole.. enter root passwd..
then
"kwrite /etc/wvdial.conf" not etc/wvdial.conf

I got it working friends. Just logined with user name 'root' and everything was simple.Now i'm posting from firefox using Open SuSE! Thanks to you all!

M

Log out of root just now.
Use su in the terminal rather. Then configure sudo to give access to wvdial and use sudo then.

u r lucky to hav got linux n gprs in linux @ the same time... njoy...

Now i hav started using Ubuntu Ver: 6.6 LTS.
Now the problem is i cant save wvdial.config file.

At the starting it asks for the username and password.
When provided correct, it logins.
Now when i open terminal and type su it says

Code:

su
password:
su: Authentication Failure
Sorry.

Wat sud b the problem??
The password i m providing is correct.

in ubuntu its

Code:

sudo wvdialconf

u need to use sudo all the time

su won't work.

Naaaa.....
when i typed sudo

Code:

:sudo
usage: sudo -K | - L .....
usage: [ -HPSB] ......

^^ open the terminal:

Code:

azad@sid:~$ /usr/bin/sudo command

^^^ wat it will b doing then?

the wvdialconf command will probe for any modem devices available and make them.try the cmd..

Code:

~$sudo wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf

OR u want 2 know what is sudo-sudo gives a secure(arguably) way of exexcuting root user owned commands by asking the passwd of local user-that means U.

sudo (superuser [or substitute user] do), generally pronounced IPA: [sudʊ], is a program for Unix-like operating systems such as BSD, Mac OS X, and Linux that allows users to run programs with the security privileges of another user (normally the system's superuser) in a secure manner. By default, it is installed in /usr/bin/

*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudo

u can do one thing.. Type man sudo and follow the instructions to enable the root account su in dapper

^^ why?for ubuntu sudo does the job well.but u can set su root easily by

Code:

~$sudo passwd root

and for root's Desktop,u need to enable local admin to login in "gdmsetup".
why all these..
:???:

yup i know that but its given in better detail in the man pages of sudo.. And not many ppl like to use sudo many times like me.. I prefer to login as root only

^^ root login habbit is bad!infact if ur in a network or even a standalone OS,it risks the removal of some system files,u know the effects of famous `rm -rf
try using as local user.its just a sincere suggestion

M

Why make your system insecure for no reason? Security is as strong as it's weakest link. And almost all of the times it's the user. So, by using your account as root, you are opening your system to lot more mishappenings.

Thnx guys i was able to connect to internet.
Thnx for ur help.
one needs to put sudo in front of every useful command in ubuntu.

Manshahia said:

That's a wrong quote. One need to put sudo in front of every command which needs a super user (read root) access.

sudo can be used for running commands as users other than root also.

Okay i was able to use internet last night by all your help. But now there is another strange problem.
Now whenever i open internet and browse 2-3 pages ,it disconnect autometically. Its too much annoying. What should i do now?

Firefox and Evolution Worked here

But Giam not working

any idea why is it?

But one question, can i not configure the KNetworkManager somehow and use it? I have never enjoyed the sight of Konsole (just remembering Ocean's 12 hehe

).

well r u using proxies???? as in NOP??? or u usin MO???

Are you asking me? No proxies (i think), yes mobile office of airtel.

This setting is working fine for me..
i just wanna know if there is anyway to automatically redial when disconnected..

I don't think there is any automatic way,even if the line is dropped you have to exit the wvdail and then reconnect. sometimes you might have to disconnect the cell phone as well...

But those are rare, and it works like a gem.

Man I was asking for this automatic redial option bcoz I often get disconnected with absolutely no reason behind...
I m seriously in need of this..

Chk out content of my wvdial.conf for if there is any mistake

[Dialer usb-dial]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Phone = *99***1#
Username = aa
Password = bbc
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Carrier Check = No

I have changed the 'Baud' and 'Dailer' ..well i don't think this are creating any problem

I m using Airtel Gprs connection

If I type wvdial or lsusb or anything in terminal it just stops....

I'm stuck badly...please help...

Please help me...as GPRS is the only way for me to connect to internet...
rite now I am from Windows..

Did anyone try using GPRS on Linux Mint...

and if yes..please tell which phone & data cable...

Hi guys i have MINT installed on my machine... i followed all the wvdialconf steps mentioned to connect my SE K508i using data cable.........

I have done everything correctly...

The prob is:

When i type wvdial in terminal.. the phone gets connected to internet... buti'm unable to browse the net in firefox or even i can update software packages, literally the net gets connected in phone but cant access the internet in the MINT

i was using Ubuntu a month ago with the same settings... it was working fine ... but not it wont...

PLEAsE help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..

M

maybe it's a DNS problem as someone else had too. In that case, providing the address of DNS server in prepend section of /etc/dhclient.conf worked. Try that.
And put this query up in Mint's forum, it could likely be a bug. If it is, you can report it.

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I could connect my E50 thru ubuntu gutsy in just 2 mins. Everything was automatically configured. I needn't change anything in wvdialconf.

Hello,

Why are you attempting to use wvdial? Of course, that's the semi-official way for the Tata Indicom Plug2Surf (as in it's in the manual), but for just about every other phone that you're likely to have, GPRS Easy Connect should work!

You can find a guide to installing it on their website, at *www.gprsec.hu/modules/docs/. Note that it doesn't work for Ubuntu (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, or any of the other *buntus) yet, but there is a workaround - install everything by hand!
The guide is at *www.gprsec.hu/modules/news/view.php?id=260.

Apparently the system supports Airtel at the least, but they don't have Vodafone listed there - annoying, since with Vodafone being an international company, surely they'll have 3G before anyone else? Someone should track down the Vodafone details and post them on the forum there.

That's all folks (power cut),
Cam.Turn

WARNING: DON'T try installing any other software by hand if it doesn't work, as it's VERY likely that you'll break your system. Instead, ask on their forum, or e-mail one of the developers. If it turns out that you HAVE to install it by hand, ask the developers to give you detailed instructions.

use this
phone number = call customer care & ask
user name = it should be blank but linux does not allow this, so use 'a'
password = same case can't be left blank so use 'b'

Ok. now i installed ubuntu.

also my mob is detected on ttyACM0 instead of ttyUSB0 as in the tut.

I just bought an htc s710 pro
Need to know how to connect to the internet thru GPRS on gutsy gibbon.
WM6 is different from WM5
WM6 establishes a connection by itself and creates a new "Local Area Connection" in Windows and that acts as the Internet Gateway. No need to install or configure anything. Such a new connection will automatically be created in Gutsy too?

I m using Idea GPRS on Sony Ericsson W810i . This is how i connect to net in Windows APN : internet Username : Password : Phone no : i.e. i have to enter only APN(Access Point Name). I m not finding anything like apn in this guide.Please help me.

Your wvdial.conf should be similar to this

Code:

Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"
Baud = 230400
Stupid Mode = 1
Modem Type = USB Modem
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99***1#
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Username = a
Password = b

thanks for reply. Should i keep all the other things(username,password,phone no) blank except APN as i do in windows

Wvdial does not allow username & password to be blank
so use "a" and "b". & same apply for phone number.

Not sure about this, try *99***1#

Thanks Gary now i'am posting from Ubuntu. Its working now

Cool, Good to know i am of any use
As all my Profs call me Useless

Ok now one more problem. I use 2 mobiles to connect. One is Tata Indicom & other is idea. I'm now able to connect through both of them but every time i have to edit config file according to type of mobile. How to create two profile and choose any one during connection.

Simple!
Just give them a label, common things like Baud rate can go in the [Dialer Defaults] and rest stuff like apn,username in respective labels.
for TATA indicom use [Dialer tata] & for Idea use [Dialer idea]
or something like that

then call the it with name like

Code:

wvdial idea

Code:

wvdial tata

BTW,network profiles can be made using network-admin command via system>admin>network

I went to setup Nokia 5700 in Ubuntu 7.10 as per the guide on the first page.
Everything was fine.I also edited the wvdial.conf.But now while connecting, i get the following

Code:

Sorry, no modem was detected!  Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?

Please read the FAQ at *open.nit.ca/wiki/?WvDial

If you still have problems, send mail to <wvdial-list@lists.nit.ca>.

The URL didn't help either.
Help me to proceed further.

Please post your wvdial conf

i use pppconfig for internet connection through mobile (Nokia 6233 with data cable), it takes hardly 15sec. to configure it. whereas wvdial takes more time and text files editing to configure. can anybody tell me the difference between wvdial and pppconfig ?

Not sure about it let other see.

maybe some wrong value in wvdial conf, what provider is yours?

I use Airtel Mobile Office.

Code:

#wvdial conf for Airtel Mobile office

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 230400
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = *99#
Username = A
Password = B
Stupid Mode = 1

Try using this conf
is the above phone number does not work then try *99***1#

No Gary it isn't working.

Does it requires to install any pc suite or related software?

I hate when people say not working

please give the error msg, explain what you did etc.

so that others can also reply.

Sorry for that.

the cause for disconnection is

ERROR - 16 The link was terminated by the modem hanging up

means some wrong info in wvdial.conf, thats why modem didn't connect but dunno how to fix this.

1.Connect the mobile via USB cable.

2. Open terminal and type su to become root.

3. It will ask for the root password, type in there.

4. Then Issue this command

Code:

wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

Phone wud b detected as Modem

5. Then to Edit this file, open it in a Text Editor
Code is

Code:

kwrite /etc/wvdial.conf

When we issued command in point 4, it showed the address of ur phone that in which USB port it has been connected. note it down from there.
"Modem = /dev/***"

6. When Text Editor opens the file, erase everything from there and Paste the following:

Code:

[Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 # <-- Replace it with the reading you got Phone = *99# Username = aa Password = bbc Baud = 230400 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ISDN = 0 Modem Type = Analog Modem Carrier Check = No

The mOdem has been configured successfully.

To dial the internet conenction type

Code:

wvdial

If eerything goes fine it wud say that connected successfully.
Press Ctrl+C to disconnect.
