Hi, if I make my dongle plug and play for Ubuntu, will it still work for Windows? Is there any way of changing it back if not, as I use both of them.

I have a Novatel modem that doesn’t understand the ZCDRUN command as well.

Easy manual solution: if a CD-ROM drive appears on the desktop when you plug your modem in, right-click it and choose Eject. Then proceed with configuring the connection. You will have to eject the drive each time you plug it in.

Automated procedure: install usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data. Google usb-modeswitch for more details.

@Rob: I am using Claro in Argentina in Xubuntu 8.04, with a ZTE MF 622, but when I upgraded to 8.10 or 9.04 I could no connect any more, so I went back to 8.04.

Please show us the output of:
tail -f /var/log/messages when you plug the modem in and try to connect.

Thanks for the post but i’m still in the same place. Modem connects (provider is Claro, Guatemala) yet Mozilla can’t get anything out of it (“Server Not Found”).

Please help,

you really don’t need to have XP netbook for doing this. Minicom is what you need
