Hi!.
So I finally achieved sharing my internet connection, I am using wvdial to access my ISP everything work fine but How or where should I put wvdial to be activated everytime I power on my computer?.
I am using Suse 8.0 Pro

Thanks in advance!
 
You could create a sysV script or edit rc.local (providing tha format is used in SuSE)

Alternatively you could use pppd rather than wvdial which could be covered in SuSE's default setup.

Hi!

I forgot to mention:

My ISP (telmex-Mexico) charges EVERYTIME you dial the phone number to access Internet, so what I want to do is dial my ISP only one time a day keeping my Internet connection "live" all the day using my Web Server so If I reset my computer to change my Operating System I could still use Internet without dialing the phone number again.

BTW: My ISP resets my connection everyday around 20:00 Could I be able to avoid that?
