Hi, Can somebody HELP ME OUT PLEASE
I am using AT&T Worldnet service to connect to the Internet. AT&T uses
standardPPP (Point-to-Point
Protocol) with CHAP. I am following instructions found in their site
http://www.wurd.com/wurd/software/dialers/linux.html, and my machine seems
to connect and then 0.6 minutes later the connection drops. I have done
everything you can imagine but have not been able to get it to work. So,
please help me out. The following is the information you request in the file
README.linux that comes with Red Hat Linux 6.0 Operating system.
Packages installed on my computer: (My computer works with either NT or
Linux)
kernel-2.2.5-15
ppp-2.3.7-2
xchat-0.9.4-3
Modem: internal modem 33.3 kbps
This is the script used to establish the connection:
/usr/sbin/ppp-on
#!/bin/bash
# Script to establish connection from my machine(LINUX OS) to
# worldnet via PPP and CHAP authentication.
/usr/sbin/pppd name "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" \
-d connect '/usr/sbin/chat -t 30 -v ABORT BUSY "" ATDTxxxxxxx \
CONNECT ""' /dev/modem 57600 noipdefault kdebug 25 modem defaultroute
crtscts
# where xxxxxxx is the number I dial
# end of the script ppp-on
*****************************************************************
I also edited the following file
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
login * "password" *
******************************************************************
and the following file
/etc/resolv.conf
domain worldnet.att.net
nameserver yyy.xxx.xxx.y
nameserver xxx.yyy.yyy.x
nameserver yyy.xxx.xxx.y
nameserver xxx.yyy.yyy.x

I am also providing the messages(pertaining to the problem) written to
/var/log/messages
