I have recently purchased the Reliance Netconnect Broadband plus data card. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 I go-ogled for methods to setup the data card. A number of sites give info about downloading usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data packages and using wvdial. I tried all the methods but haven't succeeded. There were Huawei drivers for Linux in the data card. I installed the drivers. Now using wvdial I can connect and obtain the ip address and the DNS server address but when I start Firefox (from the icon on top panel) I cannot visit any site. Firefox just shows looking up for the site, but doesnt go forward.

Can anyone help me in resolving the issue. Do I have to change any other settings to get my networking going? I'll be grateful for an early help. Thanks in advance.

Sumesh:(

Solved the problem. My firewall through iptables was blocking firefox. Stopped it. Now everything is fine. Thanks:D
