Hello again after a long time now, with the passage of time i have found a compatible dongle for 3G with Puppy Linux using the latest Tahr pup. My daughter gave me a dongle she no longer needed a Huawei hyper link dongle, this worked with the simple network connection LAN option, only as it connects...

Thanks for all your time guys :wink: i have tried all the above probing finding the driver etc in the network configuration with no luck. Guess the second post from Ted dog best sums it up, it not going to show as a modem all the time it see's a mass storage devise /-: oh well just have to wait........

Hello to the community. Been a long time now since i tried and failed with multiple usb 3G dongles on various networks, just wandering has anyone found a fix yet for this problem ? I've ploughed through a lot of distro's to date and the majority will allow this type of interface internet connection....

Oh Tallboy, i don't feel stupid at the usb 1.0 comment, or silly, just a speed observation might have been an issue, i don't know what program software Puppy uses to see 3G hardware, also nothing wrong with old machines, P 3 USB 1.0 etc, there meant for the kids to use, Compaq Ipaq light legacy mach...

Hi again guys. Just a quick update, Ive still not managed a 3G connection with Puppy Linux, i still have it on two machines be it old ones ( see start of thread ) so i will keep searching for an answer / solution. But in the mean time Ive been trying Zorin lite, no problem with 3G there and its requ...

Sorry for the lack of screen shots, i don't know how to do it through Linux, all i could do is take pic's with a camera and upload. You and others would glean nothing from that anyway, its plastered all over the web what others have tried, i am not different as in the things ive tried, so whats the ...

Hi again to you all. I have been pulling my hair out so to speak with this wireless connection issue with puppy, i see other Linux distro's have success with wireless dongle connections. Although i like puppy, ive given enough time to a problem i cant fix, so for the time being ive shelved puppy and...

Sorry if i missed a question put to me, not thick just ill. Anyway ive googled lots of terms regarding hits through Google, just tried another, usb mode switch for ZTE 3G Dongle, second hit this thread, don't wont to sound flippant but not cutting edge if all Google can spit out is this thread A. So...

I have tried wireless, dial up, gprs to access a connection, yes i used the puppy connection wizard for all the attempts. The user interface of the dongle when installing on windows does not look like a windows installer, in puppy there is just a windows opening prompting me for the next step, the w...

Hello again Fossil and Muggins. I don't fully understand the AT command thing, ive only input a search on ZTE in general, i thought if i can find info on getting connected via 3 network it would work as all ZTE 3G dongles work in the same way. The picture posted of the connection screen shot ive got...

Hi there Tallboy. A lot of your post sounds familiar, i don't know if you mean your USB 1 / USB 2 in this thread, i can't see a post on it, for my connection on the said machine its USB 1. I don't know why more support in the operating system does not exist, as wireless is popular now days, if all f...

Hi Fossil. Ive removed and reinserted the dongle, it see's it as a mass storage devise as it does have a 4 GB micro SD card in it, that all comes up and files i have stored on it. The mount and unmount thing ive not tried yet, no its not leaving two icons on the desk top just one usb devise icon, it...

Hi Semme. I went to the latest puppy download site and downloaded the latest lucid puppy version, there was puppy slacko is it called and wary as well, but i had studied lucid puppy as it looked easier for a beginner not as easy as Ubuntu but offered what i was after for a couple of older machines. ...

Don't know what happened to the pic's, sorry.

Hi again, been busy repairing Vista daughter screwed up, done now. Any way thanks for the link muggins but ive not got round to trying Semme's idea first. I have had a browse and found the link below on the next step, it looks like i need the software download in there, not 100% thoe. Kind of thinki...

Hi Semme. I don't know what lsmod and dmesg are, sorry to sound illiterate, but this is my first venture in to any Linux distro, ive never used it before, my first attempt was going to be Ubuntu, but i saw puppy and was taken straight away with its tiny foot print on any drive, and it could run from...

Thanks for the greetings guys. Ok sorry ive been a while, more detail as you say, yes the 3G Dongle is a ZTE MF627 on three net work, i use it on Windows XP and Vista, straight forward for that. More on my systems, ive two Compaq Ipaq light legacy machines from around 2000 millennium, they where run...
