What does route -n say after you've run those commands?
Maybe Safaricom are just being bad ...
Try disconnecting and reconnecting up to 10 times - seriously, I've sometimes had to do that in SA and then it works (Windows as well as Linux)
Hey
I finally hacked it!! :D
ran the sudo route del default & sudo route add default gw 10.64.64.64 commands.
then an idea hit me!! if the system sees my eth0 as my "internet gateway" what if I disabled the interface??
ran the command sudo ifconfig eth0 down and put the eth0 in an inactive state.
I am replying this post on my HSDPA connection.
thanks alot Secretcode!!!
I have edited the wvdial.conf to refelct the settings for Safaricom.
What I am trying to do is script opening the application and initiating a connection on the desktop.
I am still working on learning how to write scripts, so I was wondering, has anyone already written a script that initiates a connection to Safaricom?
I am trying to get this so that the user (in this case, a 60 year old woman) can just click and connect.
Thanks in advance.
