ReplyDeleteI`m a new user to ubuntu. just trying it for past 1 week.
as
i used, ubuntu is just amazing and super. i want to stick it. i
installed in my windows 7. after install i use windows rarely.
though ubuntu is Good, sometimes it is irritating.
i can't install extra softwares like windows through wizard.
then my major problem and my question through this mail is
i
used to connect internet via my phone gprs(aircel) surprisingly it
connects at the 1st time without any complications. i was very happy.
but the happiness remains for just 2 min. modem disconnects frequently.
say for every 2 min. then i should plug out data cable and re connect.
then it will connect and after 2 to 3 min, again it will be
disconnected.
i search net and ubuntu forums for help. some suggests me to install wvdial and genome ppp.
ppp already installed and i installed wvdial.
now both programs are installed. after that also, the same problem continues.
if this internet connection problem solved, surely i'll stick to ubuntu and will Not go to windows.
please linux experts, help me to solve this.
Thanks.

Hey Samuel, it seems that there is problem with your data cable, it might be loose, after 2-3 min. it is disconnected due to data cable or connector. You can check both USB connection as well as mobile connector.
Deletesuper working thanks a lot
