Update…
For those who are not useto with editing files or working with CLI in Linux on Fedora or any other distro you can use the “Network Connections” to setup the USB Internet connection easily. That way you also do not have to edit /etc/resolv.conf it will be automatically updated.

Just follow the wizard by providing username/password, in my case it auto dedicated my USB “ZTE CDMA Tech”

To active/deactive select the connection from “Network Manager” at the top right of control panel.

Hope this could help someone.

Hi,

You guys should have checked the dns servers by ipconfig /all on windows, anyway I am finding this easy, lets see, yet have to configure it on linux .

Nikhil,
Here we dont need the router path to add, and FYI KA was trying to say to add the router path with the /sbin/route utility, not to update the utility itself .

Regards, Pushkaraj

[...] by editing it, and guessed that I need a username/password. Thankfully, I came across this post, and gave the username/password as “internet”. I tried to connect, and it got connected [...]

Hi!

I finally found a solution to the Tata Indicom problem. aneeskA had already given the solution, but I was not able to understand him very well.

I found this thread: http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101809. According to it, simply edit your /etc/resolv.conf file to include the following:

nameserver [primary DNS address]
nameserver [secondary DNS address]

e.g.:

nameserver 202.54.29.5
nameserver 202.54.10.2

And its done. You are connected to the Internet!

Hi! I found your instructions a little complicated. After connecting, I checked the /etc/resolv.conf file and it turned out to be empty. The /sbin/route file turns out to be a binary (executable) file, so I am not sure how can I change it.

Can you put all this into a shell script and send it to me? Anyway, thanks for trying to help me.

after making the connection, that is when you get the local, remote IPs and DNS addresses, check your /etc/resolv.conf to see if it has the correct name server entry. if not add
nameserver primaryDNSaddress

also check /sbin/route entries. set default gateway as your remote IP.

/sbin/route add default gw remote-IP

now check firefox with direct connection mode set. it should work
