Dynamic-net Service not as advertised

Manfred Pürro @ 16:23

24 Hours they say… Ok, 24 Hours are gone, with NO reaction from dynamic-net…

my whole Reseller Account + 3 Client Accounts are gone… not a big deal for dynamic-net as they do not even feel like responding to my ticket/mail/phone.

Uh, oh… dynamic-net has Holiday season (so no one answers the phone) and monkee.ch is down

Manfred Pürro @ 17:28

note to myself:

even for a crappy little site you need a failover server
(preferably on another continent :-P )

side note:
365 Day Support they say,
but reacting inside 24 hours effectly turns this into a 192.5 Day Support)

If anyone knows a good webhoster with reseller accounts (PHP, MySQL SSH Access), please leave me a comment…

UMTS Ubuntu vs. Orange Switzerland

Manfred Pürro @ 17:05

I have here a tiny Acer AspireOne with integratet UMTS Chip.

Actually EVERYTHING runs out-of-the-box with Ubuntu netbook remix… Even the 3G Module gets detected correctly, a wizard is there to grab your location, provider and PIN.

The 3G Connection then shows up in the network manager. Unfortunately unable to connect… Long Story short… go to the Preferences (right click in network manager applet) and fill Username and Password with dummy values “mp”, “mp”. Actually these values are not needed, but not providing them causes authentication to fail… this workaround has been reported to work for other providers as well.

So long, everything works!

Perfect Laptop for on the road linux experience, even every special button works as intended… Ubunto netbook remix interface is perfect for the screen.

Big+ from me

enjoy…
