I’m a bit further advanced now! I’ve followed the instructions above. When I enter pppd call three it returns the error:-
In file /etc/ppp/peers/three: unrecognized option ‘replacedefaultroute’
Any idea where I’m going wrong?

Thanks

My first guess is that you’re not editing these files as root, but you say you’re using su, so I’m not sure what’s going on there.

Try writing the file in your normal home directory, then moving it across.

Thanks for the details however I’m struggling to write a new file. I’ve got to /etc/udev/rules.d/ and can see all the files but when I try and save a new file to this location it comes up with an error “Can’t open file to write”. Kind of stops me dead in the water! I’ve tried starting it with su and sudo so - as shown above but it doesn’t help. I’ve got an Acer Aspire One. Any help greatly appreciated

The command “su” is used to become administrator if you have a text console, or if that doesn’t work try “sudo su -”

my file has little difference and i think I would have to change it and access denied

what should i do to be administrator in OS of EEE PC

I also turned of (log on automatically) in personalization and when i restarted i had onley 1 user to log in and no administrator

Im stuck at the first hurdle where is /etc/udev/rules.d/ i have turned on view all files and cannot see that dir at all ?

Also cannot locate /etc/ppp/peers/three do i have to make these locations my self ?

Thanks

Have you plugged the modem in? If so, check to see what gets appended to /var/log/syslog.

/dev/ttyUSB0 is the device file that should be created when you plug the modem in - check that there isn’t a similar named file created. Your syslog file may help.

but when i put in the command “sudo pppd call three”

i get an error

pppd: In file /etc/ppp/peers/three: unrecognized option ‘dev/ttyUSB0′

i have looked in the directory and can’t find this file.. have i missed something out?

I’m not sure what’s going on here. If you figure it out, please post to let others know!
