Comment 10 for bug 226411

Hello Leann,

Yes I am having an issue with PPP, I sent a question to Ubuntu's forums: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/45815. Essentially, using my Samsung Z230, I am no longer able to browse or ping. I can resolve DNS names but in spite of my efforts, I can not visit any pages. I am however able to connect using my Virtual Windows 2003 server within Ubuntu so I know the phone works and that connections are possible.

On a separate issue, my WEP key has to be reentered every time I connect. I tried manually adding it to /etc/interfaces but no luck. Also, I can not deactivate or activate WIFI with the FN +F5 key. I can however using the network-manager icon or via the kill switch on this computer. Finally, partimage won't backup my ntfs drive. This is important because in order to move onto 8.10, I had to move my .virtualbox and .mozilla-thunderbird to my Western Digital 250. They are now available in my home drive using symbolic links. I can use TAR in the mean time but I prefer partimage.

Other than that, the WIFI support is excellent for me. Under 7.10, I continually lost my connection and was forced to reboot to get it back. Under 8.10, I stay connected.

If you could help me first with the PPP issue, I would sincerely appreciate it. I must connect to work and having to use windows to do so, even virtual is very cumbersome.

Thank you,
Craig

> Two problems, the WIFI LED does not light up at all, 2nd problem, I can't connect to my Netgear WIFI router. I normally use WEP 128 but even with that turned off, I still can't connect. I have tried getting support on the Live CD forum and no one there has the answer.
