    Problems with Mobile Broadband Connections

    Am using Kali Linux on a 64 bit Core i5 processor. I have dual booted it with Windows 7. Am facing problems connecting to the internet using my Reliance Netconnect+ Modem( ZTE modem )over the Mobile Broadband option(which obviously uses a PPP protocol). I created a network connection profile using the default configuration that available.

    Whenever I connect my modem and try to dial, it doesn't usually work in the first attempt. It just tries to dial and then stops after a minute or so. Then I try doing the same thing over all the other USB ports unless I finally get connected. I have to repeat the same thing over and over,everytime I disconnect. How do I avoid this ?

    it may help

    i used my mobile as modem once when my wireless card fried (remember me to not mess with txpower). here are the settings i used.
    you have to edit /etc/wvdial.conf
    Code:
    [Dialer Defaults]
    Init1=AT+CGDCONT=1,"ip","YOURAPNHERE"
    #"ip" stays ip,don't change it. yourapn=your apn
    Modem Type= Analog Modem
    Phone =*99***1#
    ISDN=0
    Username = password
    Password = password
    Modem=/dev/ttyACM0
    Baud=460800
    pin=0000
    then,you have to edit
    /etc/chatscripts/gprs


    Code:
    #ECHO ON
    ABORT 'BUSSY'
    ABORT 'ERROR'
    AORT 'NO CARRIER'
    "ATI
    OK ATZ
    OK 'ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2
    +FCLASS=0'
    OK ATI
    +CGDCONT=1,"IP","yourapnhere"
    OK ATDT*99*1#

    then,you have to make /etc/PPP/gprs
    Code:
    /dev/ttyACM0
    460800
    connect 'chat -f /ect/ppp/chat/gprs'
    defaultroute
    usepeerdns
    don't forget to save the files

    then,open terminal and run wvdial.
    you'll have an output similar to this
    Code:
    root@kali:~# wvdial
    --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61
    --> Initializing modem.
    --> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"ip","web.digicelsr.com"
    OK
    --> Modem initialized.
    --> Sending: ATDT*99***1#
    --> Waiting for carrier.
    CONNECT
    --> Carrier detected.  Waiting for prompt.
    ~[7f]}#@!}!}!} }9}"}&} } } } }#}%B#}%}%}&*inf}'}"}(}"4[02]~
    --> PPP negotiation detected.
    --> Starting pppd at Tue Feb 25 13:53:22 2014
    --> Pid of pppd: 4297
    --> Using interface ppp0
    --> pppd: �Sa 
    --> pppd: �Sa 
    --> pppd: �Sa 
    --> pppd: �Sa 
    --> local  IP address 10.109.28.28
    --> pppd: �Sa 
    --> remote IP address 10.109.28.28
    --> pppd: �Sa 
    --> primary   DNS address 172.20.6.65
    --> pppd: �Sa 
    --> secondary DNS address 172.20.6.66
    --> pppd: �Sa

    the bad thing is you can"t exit the terminal,so i usually just move it to worksace 4
    also,your connection manager will keep showing not connected,but you will have internet

    i used my mobile as a modem once when my wireless card fried (remind me to never mess with txpower again)
    anyhow,you must edit /etc/wvdial.conf
    Code:
    [Dialer Defaults]
    Init1=AT+CGDCONT=1,"ip","YOURapn"
    Modem Type= Analog Modem
    Phone =*99***1#
    ISDN=0
    Username = randomuser
    Password = randompassword
    Modem=/dev/ttyACM0
    Baud=460800
    pin=0000
    save.
    now edit /etc/chatscripts/gprs
    Code:
    #ECHO ON
    ABORT 'BUSSY'
    ABORT 'ERROR'
    AORT 'NO CARRIER'
    "ATI
    OK ATZ
    OK 'ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2
    +FCLASS=0'
    OK ATI
    +CGDCONT=1,"IP","yourapn"
    OK ATDT*99*1#
    save
    then create /etc/PPP/gprs
    Code:
    /dev/ttyACM0
    460800
    connect 'chat -f /ect/ppp/chat/gprs'
    defaultroute
    usepeerdns
    save

    open terminal ,run wvdial.
    you should have an output similar to
    Code:

    do not close the terminal. move it to workspace 4 so it doesnt irritate you or something
