Security and Networking / How-TO: Connet CF GPRS/GSM (AudioVox RTM8000) to internet

Solved!
For some reason, when connecting using the zaurus, it automagically write the /etc/resolv.conf file. Instead using my laptop this file remained empty.
I need to manually insert the my provider's DNS address and all works well.

basically, the gsm/gprs modem behaves like any other CF serial device - it emulates a modem.
just ensure there's a mapping for the device name to make sure hotplug assigns it serial or modem identity.

I think the problem is about routing. The kernel recognizes correctly the device and assigns to it the /dev/ttyS1 serial port. Then i use the same scripts (gpr, connectgprs, disconnectgprs) that i do for zaurus and the modem connects. i receive from my provider an IP address and a local address, as well as two DNS nameserver. But i'm unable to ping them, so i can't browse.
Even route and ifconfig commands give the same results as on zaurus but i'm still unable to ping any other IP except from my and remote address.

Somebody knows?

P.S. I'm not using any distribution. I compiled all with linuxfromscratch 5.1.1

Hi all,
i have an audiovox rtm 8000 that works on zaurus 5500 with sharp rom 3.13, having followed the how-to on this thread.
Now i'm trying to install it on a laptop using the cf-pcmcia adapter.
I use 2.4.26 kernel and all seems to work... but there is a problem with routing.
The scripts (gprs, connectgprs...) are executed normally but when the server assigns my
IP, the network remain unreacheable. I cannot ping to any address except mine, even if
the route command outputs as usual.  

Does someone has successfully configured the audiovox to use in a laptop?

thanks a lot

Michele
