wvdial, what is going wrong?

[kidaz]

Everytime i try to conenct to the internet using wvdial it fails.

Ive tried with 3 ISPs none work!

this is my wvdial.conf file:

[root@wiggum ppp]# cat /etc/wvdial.conf
[Modem0]
Modem = /dev/modem
Baud = 115200
SetVolume = 1
Dial Command = ATDT
Init1 = ATZ
FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS)

[Dialer Dabsol]
Phone = 1405000
Password = opensesame
Username = logmein
Area Code = 0845
Stupid Mode = 0
Inherits = Modem0

Output with stupid mode:

[root@wiggum ppp]# wvdial Dabsol
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.42
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Modem initialized.

Can anyone see whats going wrong here?

[fancypiper]

Most ISPs ask for the username before the password.

Try reversing those two items, putting username first, then the password.

I typed 'man wvdial' it has a default config in it, I used the default config and edited it to my needs, it worked fine.


Hope it helps!
