Hi everyone
I have recently installed Kubuntu 6.06 LTS onto my home workstation, and this is my very first Linux distro in fact... I am trying to get rid of "mister $ man's" OS, so I picked Kubuntu to learn and use in my everyday home work, for the beginning. At first sight, after few days of surfing Kubuntu desktop system, I like it very much.
Here is my problem now.
I want to connect to internet from my home. I have to use a dial-up modem (connection) for now. There is Intel 536EP data fax voice PCI modem in my PC.
I tried to start KPPP to configure connection, but the window message box popped up with information that there is no file resolv.conf in \etc folder. Ok, I found arround here something about it and how to make that file. I did it using this code:
kdesu kwrite \etc\resovl.conf
and left it blank, unpopulated. I even don't now if I have to fill something in and what, or what is the purpose of the resolv.conf?
Anyway, after this I started KPPP again, and everything went ok, regarding resolv.conf file.
But now, in the window under Modem Tab, there is nothing in the list - no modem. When I tried to query modem, the system indicated that could not find(open) the modem.
In Kinfocenter I looked for PCI devices and found that there were Intel Corporation 536EP Data Fax Modem in the list.
Now, what should I do to make and configure a dial-up connection, to make Kubuntu to "see" my modem? What is wrong in here?
I mean, sorry if I don't ask a real question, but I am a very new linux user, and any help will be welcome.
Please, don't let me go back to Windows!
Thx everyone in advance and many greetings from Serbia.
