This seems to have accidentally been filed against the p0f package, when it's looking like a ppp problem. ;) Reassigning it over to ppp to get looked at. Thanks for reporting it! Hi, I'd like to ask you following things: - does the Firefox work if you put IP address (e. g. 81.95.101.9) instead of www.something.... - are both modems connected to the computer at the same time (I mentioned hardware-connected) Thanks for you answer in advance Hi - In response : 1. No Firefox does not work withe the IP addresses. 2. Only 1 modem is connected at a time (through USB port). Thanks so much for looking into this. My productivity becomes 0 when I am on the move since on my dual-boot laptop I am unable to use the Fedora side and I really need to migrate fully. The funny thing is that both these modems worked fine with Fedora Core 6. Bala Hi, 1. Could you send me output of dmesg and /var/log/messages file. 2. What is release number of problematic pppd? 3. Please, try to install older ppp package. There is pkg from FC7 on this linkg http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2551 Use rpm -U --force <pkg name>. Let me know if these packeage works fine. There are also available a couple of packeages from FC9. But we should start on the link above. JS Created attachment 310317 [details]

Output of /var/log/messages
Here is the /var/log/messages file
NO LUCK! I downloaded and did the rpm -U --force <pkg name> Still same problem - shows garbage on terminal, and Firefox does not recognize connection. rpm -qa | grep -i ppp on my system now shows this ppp-2.4.4-2.i386 My Fedora 9 original pppd was 2.4.4 - /usr/sbin/pppd - size 317736 - date 12/03/08 This one that I downloaded was also 2.4.4 - /usr/sbin/pppd - size 312332 - date 1/12/2006 dates are dd/mm/yyyy. Hi, thank you for additional info. I'd like to disturb you with testing once more. Could you test the rpm of FC-6 (ppp-2.4.4-1) http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=599 Thank you a lot Sorry to say that too does not work. I got a warning on installation ... Header V3 DSA Signature NOKEY KEYID 897da07a It created /usr/sbin/pppd size 312956 date 25/7/2005. But again when I ran the script the same garbage came up on the screen Appreciate your help!

But again when I ran the script the same garbage came up on the screen Appreciate your help! Hi its September 2008. I tried the modem ZTE-MG880 again. I continue to get the garbled characters in the shell view on running pppd. But - now firefox is able to connect to the net. I have been using it for a week now - its working fine. I don't recall any unusual changes to my system... Hi, I read BZ #467004 inclusive links that are in this bug (there is a patch). I have no this modem available but it seems to be similar or the same problem. There is new release in rawhide there is fixed bug #467004. I have the same opinion that it could solve your problem. Please, can you test this package? Jiri - The pppd connection has been working for the past month. I think it is exactly the same or related issue. By accident, I noticed that in Network Manager, the DNS settings were not set, and I reset them. The connection through Firefox started working fine then. I thought I would test for a while and then report. Then again after a few weeks, I lost the connection. I went back into Network Manager and saw that the DNS settings were lost again. I reset them, and that did the trick again. No problems. I have to mention that the DNS settings were blank, not the settings as listed in bug #467004. As long as it works... I am still on Fedora 9 and I think it will be a while before I am in a position to test on Rawhide. But I think we can close this bug issue. Thanks so much!
