Hi Winton and Asif,

(I don't want to hijack Asif's discussion - but it seems the same topic!)

My problem is that, although I can now configure the modem through pppconfig and can connect by means of pon, Firefox does not recognise that I am connected. I can see that I am connected by looking at the modem (and I heard it connect!) but Firefox just tells me that the url is not available ("www.ubuntu.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again" - the same message I get when I am not connected. If I connect the other way, I have no problem).

Is this something to do with this not being a default route? Should I add "defaultroute" to the script file?

Bill

Hi again Asif,
you only need to do  sudo pppconfig, to configure the setup,
don't need sudo to actually connect. To disconnect just  poff

Take Care
