Barry -- Blackberry Modem - ppp problem

[slinkeey]

Hello,

I have been trying to use barry to use my blackberry modem.

When I run "sudo pppd call barry-att_cingular" the blackbery does it thing, displays a message on it that the modem is in use, then I see a message on my ubuntu based notebook that it got assigned an ip address..

It tells me the dns servers being used..

a ppp0 device shows up in ifconfig..

ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol  
          inet addr:10.83.33.133  P-t-P:169.254.1.1  Mask:255.255.255.255

I can not get to google.com by domain name or ip.


Am I missing something here?

Thanks,

Ok I have an Update:

Internet does work!! It resolved addresses from the command line.. I can use commend line tools like ftp, telnet and etc.. I just can't use the X stuff like mozilla and etc... any ideas?

[slinkeey]

Progress!!

There problem is network manager doesn't see ppp so I did the following in Firefox.

I changed: toolkit.networkmanager.disable;false
To: toolkit.networkmanager.disable;true

Now I can surf the web.. Manually un-checking off-line did not do the trick.

This is kind of a pain, but whatever I guess.
