Hi list, I'm using a PPPoE connection to connect to my ISP - worldnet. (it's what's commonly referred to as "cablewalla ka net"). Under Windows I use the RASPPPOE protocol. I've been able to connect to it under Fedora using the nice "system-config-networking" tool. Under Debian I couldn't find any GUI tool. There is a command-line tool called "pppoeconf". I've performed the steps given on this site: http://users.pandora.be/Asterisk-PBX/PPPoE.htm
The strange thing is that although this utility prompts for username and password, it doesn't give an option to select the Access-Concentrator and Service-Provider name. (The list of service-providers and access-concentrators can be obtained using pppoe-discovery). This is what I get in the system log: Sep 8 11:06:50 localhost pppd[3973]: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded. Sep 8 11:06:50 localhost pppd[3974]: pppd 2.4.4 started by root, uid 0 Sep 8 11:06:51 localhost pppd[3974]: PPP session is 43360 Sep 8 11:06:51 localhost pppd[3974]: Using interface ppp0 Sep 8 11:06:51 localhost pppd[3974]: Connect: ppp0 <--> eth0 Sep 8 11:06:52 localhost pppd[3974]: Remote message: Login incorrect Sep 8 11:06:52 localhost pppd[3974]: PAP authentication failed Sep 8 11:06:52 localhost pppd[3974]: Connection terminated.

Go 'way. Sep 8 11:07:27 localhost pppd[3974]: CHAP authentication failed Sep 8 11:07:27 localhost pppd[3974]: Connection terminated. The username and password were correctly entered. I have checked that multiple times. Are those authentication failures generated because it is attempting to connect to other access-providers? Any suggestions to get me connected? -- Regards OSRIC XAVIER FERNANDES -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
