Please help.

I'll take a break from my please help request and try to help you with yours. :-) I have wvdial.dod working perfectly with wvdial. First, please execute the command "rpm -q wvdial" for me. You need to be running version 1.4 or later. If you're not, please get the latest version from a SuSE ftp site near you. Here's one site I'm fond of, complete with the link to the rpm you'd need: ftp://ftp.twoguys.org/SuSE/current/suse/n1/wvdial.rpm Next, compare your /etc/wvdial.conf with mine. You can NOT have any sections in it for wvdial.dod to work properly. I don't know why this is, it just is. I ran into this problem myself. = = = cut here - begin /etc/wvdial.conf - cut here = = = [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/modem Baud = 57600 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = AT M0 L0 Q0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0 Area Code = Phone = 5551212 Username = suse Password = suse Dial Command = ATDT Stupid Mode = 1 New PPPD = 1 = = = cut here - end /etc/wvdial.conf - cut here = = = Obviously I changed the phone number, username and password from their real values. :-) Next, let's look at the /sbin/init.d/wvdial.dod file. Here's mine, and I'm hoping that wordwrap won't bite you.

download the version from the GERMAN web page. I don't know what the difference is (didn't bother running diff over them) but the one from suse.de works. On Thu, 30 Mar 2000, John Charls wrote:

I am running SuSE 6.3 and can't get wvdial.dod to work. If I start wvdial it connects fine, but if I start wvdial.dod and try to connect nothing happens. Where can I start checking ?

Thanks
