Connecting Net using BSNL USB modem

DK — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 12:38:00 +0000

Hi friends here is my another ubuntu how to.

I did this today morning for my friend who purchased a new BSNL USB modem (model: Huawei EC325). He asked me configure his ubuntu 8.04 for connecting net through the BSNL USB modem.

After a little bit of googling I came to know about the procedures.

Please continue reading to know the step by step procedures.

1. Go to terminal (application > accessories > terminal )

2.Then type the following line in terminal.

sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

It will ask the login password give it (remember it won’t appear still you can enter the password). Then hit enter

3. Now a text editor will open the wvdial.conf file then add the following content in that file

[Modem0]
Modem=/dev/ttyUSB0
Baud=115200
SetVolume=0
Dial Command = ATDT
init1=ATZ
init2=AT+CRM=1
FlowControl= Hardware (CRTSCTS)
[Dialer BSNL]
Username=
Password=
Phone=#777
Stupid Mode= 1
Inherits = Modem0

After adding the above content.

4.Change the line Modem=/dev/ttyUSB0 to what ever your device name is, you can see the device name using following command and search in the result which appears after entering it.

dmesg

Almost all the will have name “ttyUSB0″ as device name better confirm it by giving the “dmesg” command

5.Then Enter your Username and Password which is given to you while you are purchasing the USB modem.

See the example

Username=abttech
Password=123456

After adding that username and password to that content save your file.

6.Now come back to terninal then type the below command

sudo wvdial BSNL

Hit enter. After that connection will be established. Please remember don’t close the terminal window. If you close it you will lose the connection.

7.Now open the firefox and disable the work offline option (file > work offilne)

Ya you are done enjoy using internet in Ubuntu.

Make any Website Editable

bpsarathy — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 16:25:00 +0000

You can edit any webpage of another website. Yes, one line java script makes this one possible

Of course you can’t actually edit the actual web page but you can edit the page as you see it on your screen.

This is one of the ways scammers create fake screenshots, fake Adsense & affiliate earnings and even fake Paypal transactions, said Patrick Altoft

javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0

To make any website editable, first open the website in your web browser, then copy the above code and paste in the address bar of your browser and simply hit enter. That`s all now that webpage is ready for editing.

Now select the text and edit as your wish.

Connecting Internet in Ubuntu using mobile as modem via bluetooth or datacable

DK — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 17:10:00 +0000

When I installed Ubuntu 8.04 in my computer I found no way to connect internet using my mobile as modem via bluetooth. So I switched to XP and googled some forums and found the solution.

I think this might be much useful for new users.

To know how

Here the things i used.
1) Ubuntu 8.04
2)Airtel Mobile Office
3)Nokia 6600 also i checked with Nokia N72 and Moto L6i mostly all are working.

Here are the things you should do it may look like a long process but all can do it !

For users who are using bluetooth:

1: Switch on bluetooth on your phone and the computer. Make both your computer and phone visible to other devices.

2: Do a search from Ubuntu for bluetooth devices near you. For this, you need to do as follows:

application > accessories > terminal (it is like cmd in XP)

Give the command :

sudo hcitool scan

It will ask password you just enter it but no * or dot will appear in screen so give your password with out any mistake and press enter

After sometime you will get the list of devices with their device address (also called as MAC address) and the device name. . . It will look something like:

12:12:12:12:12:12 PhoneName

Number may vary from phone to phone after that MAC address your phone’s bluetooth name will appear

Note down the device address of your phone (it will appear the place of the 12:12:12:12:12:12 , but in a similar format). You will need to use it later.

3: Now, you need to find which channel on your phone is assigned to what service on the phone. For this you will need to browse the device services. To do this, pass the following command:

sudo sdptool browse 12:12:12:12:12:12

NOTE: Replace 12:12:12:12:12:12 with your phone address.

You will get something like this:

4: We need to see which channel is assigned to the service “Dial Up networking”. Do not be worried by the long output. It is easy to find it.
In the above output (in the code box), search for the lines which say “Service Name” and find the one which says “Dial Up networking”. You can see that in the above output, the area below matches our requirements:

Quote:

In this entry, the channel number is given. We see that the channel is ’2′ (as shown by the line Channel : 2).

Note down the channel number. We will need in the next step.

5: Now you have all the required information for the work to be done. Now you need your computer to recognize the phone as the modem. for this, pass the following command:
Code:

sudo rfcomm bind 0 12:12:12:12:12:12 2

Remember to replace the address 12:12:12:12:12:12 with your device address and the number ’2′ at the end with the channel number you will get for YOUR phone.

Now skip to “Common to both using bluetooth and datacable” area below

For Datacable users:

1: Connect the data cable to the phone.

2: Some phones as for selection of modes e.g. nokia phones ask to select either the data mode or PC suite mode and Sony Phones ask to select either the ‘file transfer’ mode or ‘phone mode’. Select the one which you use on Windows to connect to internet (on nokia it is PC suite mode or Nokia mode and on Sony phones it is ‘phone mode’). Wait for 2-3 seconds to get the device detected by Ubuntu.

3: launch the terminal (application > accessories > terminal (it is like cmd in XP) ) and switch to root by passin
g the command: su . Enter the password and you will get the # prompt.
give the following command

cd /
4: go to the /dev directory by passing the command:

cd dev

5: Check for the ttyACM devices. issue the command :

ls ttyACM*.

It should show either ttyACM0 or ttyACM1 as output.

NOTE: If it does not show any output, then your phone is not detected !

6: Note the output which is mostly either ttyACM0 or ttyACM1.

Common to both using bluetooth and datacable:

So till now, you have made Ubuntu recognize the phone as a modem either via Bluetooth or via Data cable. Now you need to dial to connect to the internet.
For this you will have to copy the following as save it as /etc/wvdial.conf using the root account:

To do this give the following command:

sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

if it asks for password give it.

A text editor will open with name wvdial.conf
copy the code below and save it:

[Modem0]
Modem = /dev/rfcomm0
Baud = 230400
SetVolume = 0
DialCommand = ATDT
FlowControl = Hardware(CRTSCTS)

[Modem1]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 230400
SetVolume = 0
DialCommand = ATDT
FlowControl = Hardware(CRTSCTS)

[Dialer GPRS]
Username = 1
Password = 1
Phone = *99***1#
Mode = 1
Inherits = Modem0

[Dialer DATA]
Username =
Password =
Phone = *99***1#
Mode = 1
Inherits = Modem1

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/rfcomm0
Baud = 230400
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”airtelgprs.com”
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Area Code =
Phone = *99***1#
Username =
Password =
Ask Password = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Stupid Mode = 1
Compuserve = 0
Force Address =
Idle Seconds = 3600
DialMessage1 =
DialMessage2 =
ISDN = 0
Auto DNS = 1

Now when dialing via Bluetooth, give the following command:

sudo wvdial GPRS

When dialing via datacable give the following command:

sudo wvdial DATA

It will ask for the root password. Enter it and it should connect.

Main things:
1. Don’t close the terminal window if once connected. If you close, then net will be disconnected

2.Keep your browser in online mode to do this open Firefox

file> uncheck work offline

It is 100% working even I am posting this post using the internet connection which I made using the above method.

Any doubts please post your comments i will try to solve it.
