Hei there Tres
I wanna say thanks to you too for trying to help out.
In /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf the values that you mentionned and the correct
value for USER are present.
I have checked {ch,p}ap-secrets as it suggests in the installation instructions
of the gentoo handbook and all looks OK to me - password correct and
file in the correct format.
I will try /etc/init.d/rp-pppoe start though I am not sure if it will
help as I guess that it justs calls adsl-start or adsl-connect both of
which I have tried with no success.
As I have said I have a gentoo livecd from a years back and I can use it
to get a connection using adsl-setup etc with no problems. This leads me to
suspect something deeper. Though I should say I am rather clueless as to
what it may be.
I am starting to think that it maybe a good idea to just press ahead
using knoppix or the old livecd and hope that the problem does not rear
it's ugly head at some stage later.
Thanx again!
