Hernâni,
Thank you for posting your problem here. I suspect you are using the wrong update dotpet package for the version of Puppy you have. But you have not told us which it is. Be aware that the 3G_pupdial-wireless-13.pet package is only for puppies 4.2 and older, and has not been maintained for a long time. Please do not use it.

The puppies I can help you with are 4.3.1 (plus an update package) and Lucid Pup 5.2.8. Lupu 5.2.8 should already support your 3G modem. You can get the very latest version of it here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=554253#554253

If you are using "wary", the modem should also "just work" there. If you have trouble with the modem and lupu 5.2.8, please report that here, so I can work it.

Welcome to this thread.

Richard,

Thank you very much for trying to help me.

I really would like to be using this Puppy because it is incredible.

So, my Puppy is Lupu 5.2.8

I'm going to follow your advice. I'm using this O.S since tow weeks ago. Before I was using Debian Squeeze wich is also very good.

I really apreciate your work.

Thank you one more time.

Best wishes

Richard,

I did everything that you said for me to do, but with no success. Lupu 5.2.8.003 doesn't solve the problem. The modem is recognized but the connection hangs up allways.

The error message is this:

WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.53

man pppd explains pppd error codes in more detail.
Try again and look into /var/log/messages and the wvdial and pppd man pages for more information.

I would apreciate any help.
Thank you very much

Hi.
I've got ZTE USB modem too and using Wary Puppy 5.2.2
I have to say that after probing several times finnally I could access to internet on the first day I installed Puppy.
BUT two days after... and with no changes in the system at all, I'm getting a "bad init string" error.
Because of I considered myself a "lucky guy", I saved the "succesful" configuration of when I coud access to internet.
I attached that .png image.

But now...

Initializing modem.
Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 +FCLASS=0

OK
Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1, "IP", "adslmovil"
AT+CGDCONT=1, "IP", "adslmovil"
ERROR
Bad init string.

How can it be?

How can i fix?

Thanks!

Hi
Thanks for your response.
This is so strange.
I changed the usb port, made the pupdial probes again and it worked, but really slow surfing the net.
I disconnected and reboot several times but I couldn't connect again.
What is it wrong here?
I used "internet" but no results. I let "adslmovil" and worked, slow, but it worked.
I'm trying to connect again and find out how to do it with good inernet speed.
