I use a USB, HuaweiEC325 reliance netconnect modem on ubuntu . The settings mentoned above worked for me , but for one slight problem. I cant surf webpages . Chat via GAIM works, email and pop3 via thunderbird works, DNS works, except for the web pages. The only pages i can open are www.export.gov, www.trade.gov, and a few others (mostly .gov). I find this weird. Anyone have a clue about what the problem is? I also checked whether i can reach to websites by telnetting to port 80 of websites, I can. The firewall is down, so that is not the issue. any pointers? Eth0 and other unrelated interfaces have also been disabled, the route is set fine, the gateways are okay, i can ping anyplace i want. Just the damn webpages won't come through.
What is the new netbooster thing being setup on netconnect? I know it's a squid proxy+dns cache for windows, any other settings I need to know? Is it the problem?
Help!
