One of my friends ask me to make a tutorial on how to connect to the internet from Ubuntu using a dial-up modem. Here’s how to do it :
First go to System->administration ->Netwok, when a dialog appear, click Unlock, enter password.
Click Point-to-Point connection, then fill in the dialog with your dial-up internet account details, as shown.
Click OK to confirm your selection, and you are done.
Click the modem tab, put in your modem device port, typically it should be a serial device or /dev/modem
Hopefully this should be able to help you get on the internet!
What is the thing at the bottom above the comments and where can i get one
thanks
Glad to have found this and hope it will work for me, thank you.
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEEM. I FIND NO NETWORK TO CLICK. I JUST HAVE NETWORK TOOLS ICON.
I am trying to follow your instructions for getting on the internet with dial-up using Ubuntu.
The first thing you said to go was
“First go to System->administration ->Netwok, when a dialog appear, click Unlock, enter password.”
I find no Network to click on only “Network Tools”. Sure could use some more help. Thanks
Cuba taip dmesg kat terminal. Post output kat sini. Mungkin ada yang boleh bantu.
dkdias, you should get an external moem instead of the flimsy and unreliable internal modem
How do you get Ubuntu to recognize a modem? I just installed the newest Ubuntu os, but it did not recognize my Coxenant 56k modem. I’ve ordered a new modem that Linux is supposed to recognize? I’ll see if it works? In the meantime, are their any suggestions out there?
Thanks!
hehe, this is a good tip for me since am a newbie!
