I am new to linux, I have recently installed Ubutno 8.04 on a laptop and I am not able to connected to the internet.
I have tried every thing I found on the internet but nothing works.
I haveÂ* an USB Modem: ASUSÂ* AAM6000UG/D (AAM6000UG-ALC)Â* (for Belgacom)
I have followed ( A FEW TIMES) the procedure at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/ueagle-atm
installed and un-installed ubunto a few times, just to make sure I start from scratch, but still not working.
Some people suggested that I should buy another modem... but I don´t see way. it works well in windows and if I start that way then the question is what else should I buy and where to stop.
.
I have been working on this for weeks, so I am just about to quid on linux and go back to windows. But it would be really frustrating, so any help isÂ* very welcome.

Like the guides warn, USB modems are not really ideal for network
connectivity; I avoid it even with Windows and opt instead for getting a
modem that goes into an Ethernet switch. That'll save you tons of headaches.
BUT that doesn't answer your question. At what point is your connection
attempt failing? Any error logs or messages you can post?

I can't comment on this particular device, but it is simple fact that
not all hardware designed for Windows and/or mac with work with Linux.
If you happen to have unsupported hardware, you will need to replace it
with hardware that offers Linux Support. (Something that is sometimes a
real pain with Notebooks, as many of the devices are built in and not
replaceable). As a rule of thumb, hard drives, CD/DVD drives and wired
network cards are almost all well supported. Video cards/chipsets,
Printers, Wireless networking devices* (especially this one), webcams,
sound cards (looking at you, Creative, once the leader in open hardware
standard for this catagory.. how far you've fallen), all need to be
verified to be certain they are Linux Supported. There's not much to do
but contact the manufacturers and tell them you want Linux drivers for
their equipment. (One supplier even surprised me once by replying the
same day that yes, their USB to serial adapters were supported by linux,
told me which module to load, and suggested some models for me to purchase)
When it comes to ADSL modems, they really should be Ethernet, and not
USB, devices. That way they are always guaranteed to work independently
of any Operating system or software.

Again second that notion...this isn't a linux/Mac/Windows platform war
thing, it's just a support issue.
Anyway, the modem type...is it at all related to the modem listed at
http://it.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/docs/howto.html

Hello.
in fact there is no error messages, everything works fine. when I run "pon ueagle-atm" I get
"Plugin pppatm.so loaded."
them I try to open a web page but the browser just says: "address not found"
the same as if the modem is not connected.
that is what it make it worst, there is not error to follow.

Anything from dmesg or ifconfig?
Or anything in the files in /var/log?
I supposed it's possible you're getting connected but don't have the
interface configured, so the computer just doesn't know what to do at
that point to talk to the network.

Hi.
i see your point, but this modem is in the list of supported modem.
any way.Â* you say that if I buy a ethernet moden it is warranty to work?
can you please confirm this point, because I may consider to buy a ethernet modem/router and build a home network.Â* ( but still I would really like to make this one to work. just for the challenge)

Perhaps you can try:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/EciAdsl
http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/modems.php?modem=20
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+%2BEciAdsl
Appears that it's only up to Gutsy:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&keywords=eciadsl
so you may have to try the driver from flashtux:
