I've been trying to setup my Verizon USB card. I finally was able to get online with ppp0 by deleting eth0 in the Network Connections.
What I've tried so far:
I began by using wvdial, which reported that it worked (connected, returned IP address, DNS servers, etc.), but when I tried to browse a website, nothing would happen. Same thing when I tried to ping anything.
Then I went with gnome-ppp. Again, was able to successfully connect to the network, but could not browse internet or even ping an address.
I finally figured out that I could setup the mobile connection by right clicking on the networking icon in the upper right hand corner. Same result.
I was reading someone's post of having issues with eth0 and ppp0 and decided to remove eth0 and see what would happen. I was immediately on the internet.
I need eth0 (home network) and ppp0 (only connection to the internet) at the same time. Any ideas?
