HI,
I have a problem with my Broadband connexion.
I need to connect opensuse with my nokia C7 in 3G.
first of all, I’m using virtualbox to run OpenSuse. Cause at work I’m oblige to use Windows.
So normally I’ve setup the connexion correctly, because it’s working fine during 5 - 10 minutes and then the connexion is lost, even if the network manager show that the mobile Broadband is still connect…
Any idea what could be the issue?
Thanks
what does /sbin/ifconfig show in a konsole ? also post output from /sbin/route -n
you can also type as sudo

Ok up to now you can surf I suppose because ppp0 is up, your routes are correctly configured
whenever you notice that you are no more connected retype the same commands as above and post results here in formatting # please
also include
sudo cat /etc/resolv.conf
No I cannot surf… and i have to reconnect to make it work again…
Is it possible that after a 10 min without data transfer the provider cuts the connection to save you money .
(Timeout due to inactivity)
ok start a connection , then
sudo tail -v /var/log/message
when you are disconnected (you see it on your mobile phone)
post only relevant lines to
networkmanager
ppp0
or modem-manager
One cannot surf for different reasons , loss of route(s) configuration , loss of DNS config etc…
and still have networkmanagger showing uplink
wahtch for suspicious events in syslog
tail -f /var/log/message
