All,

I just bought a shiney new USB727 today from Verizon. Of course they said they supported Linux. *cough* till I actually called turns out they will support it, if you have a business account.

Long story short. I got it to connect, but I cant pull any DNS . I ping the gateway, but it comes back filters.

Here some details
Fedora 8

Kernel : 2.6.24.3-34.fc8

I have tried some of the suggestions to do the following:
modprobe usbserial vemdor=0x1410 product=0x4100

I can connect to the network with the standard phonenumber@vzw3g.com
password being vzw.

I know the connection works. I plug it into vmware and test it out in windows and it works great.

Anythoughts? Help?

try adding "usepeerdns" as an option in your peer script.

for example, here is mine.

/etc/ppp/peers/sprint
Code:
/dev/ttyUSB0    # modem
921600          # faster than this has no effect, and actually can be detrimental
defaultroute    # use cellular network for default route
usepeerdns      # use the DNS servers from the remote network
nodetach        # keep pppd in the foreground
debug
crtscts        # hardware flow control
#lock            # lock the serial port
noauth          # don't expect the modem to authenticate itself
local          # don't use Carrier Detect or Data Terminal Ready
persist        # Redial if connection lost
user
ppp
holdoff 5      # Reconnect after 5s on connection loss

lcp-echo-failure 4      # prevent timeouts
lcp-echo-interval 65535 # prevent timeouts

connect        "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/peers/sprint-connect"
disconnect      "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/peers/sprint-disconnect"
