[solved]Nokia 7900 as modem not working

Hi, few years ago, on ubuntu i configured Motorola v3xx for use with wvdial via next /etc/wvdial.conf

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
ISDN = off
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 460800
Init = ATZ
Init2 = 
Init3 = at+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet"
Init4 = 
Init5 = 
Init6 = 
Init7 = 
Init8 = 
Init9 = 
Phone = *99#
Phone1 = 
Phone2 = 
Phone3 = 
Phone4 = 
Dial Prefix = 
Dial Attempts = 1
Dial Command = ATM1L3DP
Ask Password = off
Password = internet
Username = mobitel
Auto Reconnect = off
Abort on Busy = off
Carrier Check = on
Check Def Route = on
Abort on No Dialtone = on
Stupid Mode = off
Idle Seconds = 0
Auto DNS = on
;Minimize = off
;Dock = off
;Do NOT edit this file by hand!

Now i switched the phone and trying to achieve the same on arch, the connection get's trough:

wvdial ; cat /var/log/messages.log | grep pppd | grep Sent | tail -n 1 >> /data/code/python/gprs/traffic.dat

but I cannot access internet

output of ifconfig (eth0 is wired connection currently):

what could I do to make it behave as a modem?
Thanks in advance

Re: [solved]Nokia 7900 as modem not working

Does "cannot access internet" mean no access to domain names e.g. can't open google.com, or no access to network e.g. can't ping 74.125.45.100?
If you can ping, but you can't resolve domains, edit your /etc/resolv.conf as required. If you can't ping, check your routing table after connecting.
