First off - many apologies if this is sent to the wrong list but have searched FAQ's, SDB, even read the manual and man pages and I am still stuffed. If you could suggest answers or where I could find - would be mega grateful. Would have sent query to SuSE support as a registered user but am now out of the 90 day support period. Should have sorted this problem then but didn't due to lack of time, money etc.
Problem I have installed 7.1 Pro (several times) and have yet to manage to connect to the net. Help me sort this out and I can finally torch the Windoze CD!!
Quickest way to test this is using WVDIAL - try creating a wvdial.conf in /etc along the lines of; [Dialer Defaults] YaST2 configured = 0 Modem = /dev/modem Baud = 57600 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 X3 V1 E1 S0=0 S11=55 &C1 &D2 Init3 = Phone = <enter your ISP phone number here> Username = <your username that you log on to the ISP with> Password = <your password> Ask Password = 0 Dial Command = ATDT Stupid Mode = 1 Compuserve = 0 Force Address = Idle Seconds = 0 DialMessage1 = DialMessage2 = ISDN = 0 Auto DNS = 1 Load Predefined Prefix = None Auto Reconnect = 0 This is the one I use for my connection and it works fine. This will at least tell you whether the machine is connecting to your ISP correctly. Jon
