[hsflinux] problem with Data transfer rate and connecting

[Paul Rolland]

Hello Taran,
 
It is not really easy to help you, as it seems there is some confusion
between two differents things :
 - hslflinux is responsible for getting your modem to work, and connect,
   and from your mail, it seems that it succeeds perfectly,
 - pppd is responsible for the IP stuff, such as getting the IP addresses
   (the one for your machine, the one of the gateway), and the IP
   addresses of the DNS of your provider should be part of the pppd
   stuff.
 
To help, pppd should be started with some options that are probably
mandatory :
 - defaultroute : this will tell pppd to install a default route to
   send all the IP packets thru the newly established connection,
 - usepeerdns : this will tell pppd to negotiate DNS address with the
   provider.
 
So, have a look at your /etc/ppp/options file.
You should have something that should include :
 
ttyHSF0
115200
crtscts
modem
lock
user "your_username"
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat'
noauth
defaultroute
asyncmap 0
usepeerdns
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
 
I hope this will help,
 
Regards,
Paul

Hello,
        I have a problem with the data transfer rate i am getting, as i have purchased the full version. I am getting the same speed
as i was getting in the free version i.e. max 1 kb/sec as it shows in the ppp statistics. The modem connects at 9600. Everything
else works fine, the speaker, the network layer configuration i.e. IP address allocation. 
 The other problem is that after connecting i cannot open any website due to DNS error, the browser cannot resolve the name, but i
can see the data still being received and sent, but at very low rate.
            Do I have to configure DNS address manually. But we don't have to do this in windows. The problem lies in the
application layer, but i don't know where.
        Can u please tell if this is only the DNS problem or something else, and how can i connect at the maximum speed. Do i have
to add some extra commands to the modem configuration file. currently im connecting at 52 kbps in windows.
 
Thanks
Taran
