probably i'll disable networkmanager... also i don't understand what's the default "ifupdown(eth0) connection which you can't even delete listed in nm. That should be related to /etc/network/interfaces infact if i go under connection information it displays the connection ifupdown(eth0) with the ip addresses i typed in the file interfaces. What's really important is managing to use my 3g dongle with wvdial or something else...

Hello, i'm using wvdial in order to connect my box to the internet which brings up the ppp0 interface, but when i try to ping an external host i get packet filtered. i was wondering which kind of rule should i set. Also i noticed that issuing sudo service networking restart wasn't enought after i edited /etc/network/interfaces in order to connect to the internet, instead a full reboot was needed. which comand should i use in this case?
