Ok ive just worked it out. in terminal entered: sudo mousepad /etc/resolv.conf then deleted: # generated by NetworkManager, do not edit! then entered: nameserver (primary DNS) seems to work fine! If any one needs help configuring gnome-ppp for 3 mobile broadband ide be pleased to try and help!

Hi sam, I have got to "part 3. configure gnome-ppp" and the part where you edit the init strings in field 2 to ATZ, i did that then the next bit. But when i did field 2 i deteted all the other stuff in the box, and im not sure that i should have now because the modem wont connect. So i clicked log to see what was going on and it say's this: --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","three.co.uk AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","three.co.uk ERROR --> Bad init string. --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","three.co.uk AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","three.co.uk ERROR --> Bad init string. Im not sure weather i should have left the other stuff in the box, but cant get it back could you please help, im desperate. It was going so well aswel! Lol. Thank youuuuuu my e-mail, if its any easier to reply to is: sheath89@hotmail.co.uk

How did you get 3 mobile running on your acer one as they have told me it is not compatible??

CONFIGURING 3 MOBILE BROADBAND FOR LINPUS LITE (HUAWEI E160g) Plug in your usb modem and turn on your AA1 (this is important, the AA1 will not properly detect you modem if power is already on) 1.ACTIVATE ADVANCED SETTINGS (if you havn't already!) There is a walk through on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CmbYrvt3e8) Open my documents, then click 'file', then 'terminal'. Type: xfce-setting-show Press enter Click on 'desktop' tab Click on 'behaviour' tab Tick show desktop menu on right click 2.OPEN GNOME-PPP Right click on desktop screen Then move mouse over 'network' and click on 'GNOME PPP' Type in your password (the one you chose when you first switched on) and press enter 3.CONFIGURE GNOME-PPP In username type: three In password type: three Tick remember password In phone number type: *99# Click 'setup' Click 'detect' After a short while your modem will be detected Click 'init strings' In init 2 field enter: ATZ In init 3 field enter: AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”three.co.uk” Click 'close' Click options and you can choose to minimise on connect (if u want) 4.CONNECT TO THREE Click 'connect' After around 30 seconds you should be connected At this point you will not be able to surf the web, we need to edit a file first 5.SET PRIMARY DNS Right click on the icon of two black screens at the bottom right of the desktop and then click 'connection log' Scroll down to 'Primary DNS address' and copy the address, i.e. (172.31.140.69) Click 'close' Right click on the desktop Click on 'terminal' Type: sudo mousepad /etc/resolv.conf Press enter A new window will open Delete the part that says 'generated by network manager do not edit' Then type in nameserver Press the space bar and then paste in the copied DNS address Click f'ile' Click 'save' Close the window Close the terminal Open your browser and hopefully you can now surf via you 3 usb mobem. GOOD LUCK and please let me know how you get on.

[quote=sam] 2.OPEN GNOME-PPP Right click on desktop screen Then move mouse over 'network' and click on 'GNOME PPP' Type in your password (the one you chose when you first switched on) and press enter[/quote] I bought an aspire one today and was told at PC world that it was compatible with my 3 modem. They obviously lied :( I have followed the instrauctions on this post, and the utube video and have completed section one no problem. I don't appear to have GNOME PPP in my network settings box, only acercontact browser email firefox gFTP Hotmail RSS reader Web Storage Web video Wikipedia Any suggestions please? I am raging at PC World at the moment

Hi i have tried to add/remove programmes but it will not acceptmy password what do i do??

Thanks Sam you are a genius, bought Aspire One and 3g 18 month broadband contract, told it was just plug and play.Currys and carphone warehouse are clueless. canceled my 3g contract and then found this link, so off to 3 shop and another contract.followed your instructions. and bingo.I would recommend to tick the boxes "dock in notification area" and "minimize" as I didn't at first and the twin black screens did not appear.

Ive just followed your instructions they were spot on thanks. I would have never have got there without you.

[quote=sam]Sorry i havn't posted replys yet, i will write a step by step process that works for the (3 huawei E160g dongle) and pos others i.e E220. Will post over the w.end! thanks [/quote] Hi, I'm new to Linux and have just bought a Huawei E220 dongle (3 mobile broadband).... I can't get it to work and I thought someone (maybe SAM?) would be able to help out? I'm not sure if I should follow the same steps described in "configurating 3 mobile broadband for linpus lite (huawei E160g)" since mine is E220. or the wvdial (don't know what this is...) Any help is appriciated!
