UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hey guys!

I'm not an english native-speaker, so, excuse me please, if my English isn't the best.

And I'm also not sure if I'm in the right forum. I'm Newbie so i postet it here. So if this post is in the wrong category, i bet you to bring it in the correct one (may in the IP/Network-directory)

I used FreeBSD 10 years ago the last time, when i was 14 and at that thime i had a cable-internet with a static IP. So it wasn't a problem to connect to the internet.

Now in the present, i startet using Linux since an half a year and now i want to experiment with FreeBSD because it was lovely when i used it 10 years ago.

My problem is, that I'm using mobile internet with a Huawei modem. (E1750). FBSD 8.2 supports it and "ls /dev/" also shows me cuaU0.0 and "cu -l /dev/cuaU0.0" -> "AT" gives me a "Connected". So it should work.

My big problem is the editing of the ppp.conf.

I'm from Austria and my provider is "a1". The APN is "a1.net", the username is ppp@a1plus.at and the psswd is "ppp".

It works perfectly with Linux (Gentoo, Debian, Kubuntu and so on).

I show you my ppp.conf:

Code:

a1:
set device /dev/cuaU0.0
set speed 460800
set phone "*99#"
set log local chat error warning connect
disable ipv6cp
disable mppe
disable lqr
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
\"\" AT OK-AT-OK \
AT OK-AT-OK AT+CPIN=!!!PIN_GOES_HERE!!! OK-AT-OK\
AT+CGDCONT=1,\\\"IP\\\",\\\"a1.net\\\" OK \
AT OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
enable dns
set authname ppp@a1plus.at
set authkey ppp
disable vjcomp
disable protocomp
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
add default HISADDR

But it this ppp.conf doesn't work. Does anyone see an synthax-errror or anything else which is wrong? Or would anyone of you be so nice to help me getting that config-file working?

when i use "PPP" then the PPP-promt comes:

PPP> dial a1 ..

and that work's, but it doesn't connect!

I would be so glad, if anyone could help me!


Thank's a lot,

a usually linux user =)

No ideas? :/
