What have you got in /etc/resolv.conf ? This kind of problem on
Mandrake was typically caused by not having the DNS numbers you
need in that file.
eg:-
search localdomain
nameserver 195.92.195.94
nameserver 195.92.195.95
Or whatever your ISP's nameservers happen to be (they should be
able to tell you this - if not, ditch 'em!).
The basic procedure as set out in the WVdial faq ia
-------> snip <-------------
3. Quick start.
Assuming everything works perfectly, the following will get you on-line if
you're running as root.
- wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
- vi /etc/wvdial.conf [edit username/password/phone]
- vi /etc/resolv.conf [edit nameservers]
- wvdial
-------> snip <-------------
Why not hide your current wvdial.conf and start again?
Have you tried pppconfig with pon and poff?
