Hello Id say that your ISP has Chap or PAP set and hence you need to check out the PPP-HOWTO on how to setup your PPPd with those settings. Its not that hard and with Robert Hart's excellent HOWTO, it should be fairly easy. PPP-HOWTO can be found on our mirror at http://www.ipax.com.au/LDP/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO or the main site http://www.interweft.com.au/other/ppp-howto/ppp-howto.html Regards adam -------------------------------------------------- IPAX Systems Melbourne, Australia National Systems Manager Ops Tel: 1800 894 894 Ops Fax: 03 - 9801-8533 Web Site http://www.ipax.com.au -------------------------------------------------- -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
