Because iam not use Linux Open Suse again ona my Acer Laptop, i need new set up for internet connection using nokia 2115 (with CA-42 cable data). First thing i do is looking
information from the web . Just for your information, my linux now is KUbuntu. Here is step by step how to get connect internet with nokia 2115 modem, Acer Laptop and data cable CA-42
1. Edit wvdial.conf file
- Press Alt + F2
- Type:
kdesu /etc/wvdial.conf - Enter root password
- Kwrite opens: type in the information called from ISP
Phone= #777 Username= m8
Password= ** - Save and Quit
2. Connect the nokia 2115 and data cable CA-41 to your phone
3. Open Konsole (Terminal Program) and type
sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Look for text like bellow :
"Found a modem on /dev/ttyUSB0.
Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf.
ttyUSB0: Speed 115200; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0" Make a written note for this.
4. Now to Configure PPP:
- Open a Konsole (Terminal Program) and type:
sudo pppconfig - On the main menu. Choose 'Create Create a connection'.
- Leave the name as 'provider', click 'Ok'.
- Select 'Dynamic Use dynamic DNS', click 'Ok'.
- Select 'PAP Peer Authentication Protocol', click 'Ok'.
- Enter your user name for the ISP, click 'Ok'.
- Enter your password for the ISP, click 'Ok'.
- Leave the speed at 115200 as recommended, click 'Ok'.
- Choose Tone or Pulse dialing, click 'Ok'.
- Enter the phone number to your ISP (do not use any dashes), click
'Ok'.
- You can try to have your modem detected automatically, but it did not work for me. If the modem wasn't detected, it will ask you for the port your modem is on. Enter the device name for your modem, click 'Ok'.[ie; manually edit the default port to the correctly detected port to ttyUSB0] (See modem port detection procedure, above).
- A summary screen will appear. Select 'Finished Write files and return to main menu.'
- Select 'Quit Exit this utility'.
- Exit the Konsole (Terminal Program)
5. Now open the Kppp dialer (Kmenu>Internet>Kppp) and select 'Configure'. In the Accounts tab, select 'New" and enter your ISP's name. Fill in the 'Connect To', Login ID, and Password fields. Under Modem, select "New". Fill in the modem name and select "/dev/ttyUSB0" for modem device.Select Tab "Modem" and select modem commands.Fill the initialization 1 with "ATZ" and initialization 2 with "at+crm=1;+cso=33" Type Configure the rest of Kppp as necessary according to the parameters of your ISP; ie; DNS, IP address, etc.
6. Now attempt a connection. Most likely, you will immediately receive an error as follows:
"/etc/resolv.conf is missing or can't be read! Ask your system adminstrator to create this file (can be empty) with appropriate read and write permissions." - if this happen, create resolv.conf file, leaving it blank. Press Alt +F2 and type:
kdesu kwrite /etc/resolv.conf - Enter root password and Enter.
- KWrite opens: do not edit. Just choose Save in the File menu, then Quit. The missing file has now been created.
7. Now attempt another Kppp connection. You should receive a second error message as follows:
"The Kppp daemon has suddenly died."Address this issue as follows:
- Press Alt + F2, and type:
kdesu kwrite /etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options - The file will open and you will see the following entry:
#noauth Delete the # symbol so that the file now reads:
noauth8. Now attempt another Kppp connection. This time, you should be able to connect without further problems. See picture bellow, even i am not using Linux Open Suse on my a Acer Laptop, but i still use the wallpaper :)
