I added this connection via the wizard:
- Connection name: movistar (I am in Spain)
- Connect automatically: unchecked
- IPv4 Settings tab:
- method: automatic (PPP)
- Addresses, DNS servers, Search domains: empty/grayed/disabled fields
- Routes...: all empty
- Mobile Broadband tab:
- Number: *99#
- Username: movistar
- Password: movistar
- APN: movistar.es
- Network ID: empty
- Type: Any
- Allow roaming if home network is not available: checked
- PIN: 4 digits (triple checked)
- PPP Settings:
- Authentication: EAP, PAP, CHAP, MSCHAPv2, MSCHAP
- Configure Methods: all checked
- Use point-to-point encryption (MPPE): unchecked
- Allow BSD data compression: checked
- Allow Deflate data compression: checked
- Use TCP header compression: checked
- Send PPP echo packets: unchecked
In the connections systray widget, "Enable mobile broadband" is checked, when i click on "Movistar" in a couple of seconds a popup says: "Modem network: disconnected". It's my first time and the documentation is helpless. Any idea is welcome!
