OK! I got it working - the firewall was causing the interception.I diabled teh firewall and it works just fine!!

Thank you to all for your so much cooperation - so much appreciated

Thanks Ian for your suggestion, tried it out but it doesn't work...

The wireless modem gets connected through kppp

however no access to internet.. if I go to the Network Centre adnd try to configure the AnyDATA modem, it cuts down the connection and nofurther action.

Please advise if there is any script to be run, i'm desperate of having to switch to windows to get the internet connection!

Hi Scarecrow, thanks a lot for your precious time!

I have done as per your advice - Mandriva Network Center actually shows the 3 connections available:

Wired (ethernet) eth0

Wireless (Wi-Fi) wlan0

GPRS/Edge/3G ppp0

When I have connected to the Anydata modem thru the dial up, Mandriva says:

Network up on ppp0

IP 41.222.96.200

Gateway 172.16.10.10

DNS 41.223.76.1

How do I say to Mandriva that this is the connection it should use to access internet?

Thansk a lot again!

Thanks a lot for your reply!

Actually, I have tried the KPPP modem configuration and I have been able to connect the modem.

However, Internet Browsers (Konqueror, FireFox) can not access the modem.. Is there may be a firewall I need to tuneup?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello to you and thx so much for this enriching forum.

I am quite new to Linux and have just installed Mandriva 2010.

Problem i'm getting is how to install my wireless USB AnyDATA modem.

For Vista&XP, the manufacturer provided a modem and a wireless data installation.

How do I do it in Mandriva??

Thanking you for your reply
