Asked by easygoin

Trying to get my Alltel broudband mobile phone modem to work with ubuntu.Can't get it to recognize the usb connection.Have had success with a bluetooth connection though for file transfure only.Any suggestions would be helpfull.It comes with a windows disk only for setup.I called Altell tec for advice ,but they hadn't ever heard of linux before,which i think is sad.Micosoft must have them bought off lol.

Adsl Router

PPPoE (non bridged)

In this mode, your router will connect as sson as it is switched on. If you are billed for time connected then you need to use bridged mode

    * Go to System->Administartion->Networking and make sure you have configured an ip (192.168.1.2, for example) and have set your DNS (supplied by Airtel) and Default gateway (192.168.1.1). If your router is handling DHCP then you needn’t configure an ip.
    * Navigate to http://192.168.1.1
    * Enter the username and password (default is admin for both)
    * Click Run Wizard
    * Click Next
    * Select your time zone (+5:30)
    * Click Next
    * Select <PPPoE/PPPoA Choose this option if your ISP uses PPPoE/PPPoA. (For most DSL users)>
    * Click Next
    * Enter your username and password. VPI = 1, VCI = 32, Connection Type = PPPoE LLC
    * Click restart
