[PLUG] Configuring Iqara broadband on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn

2007-05-28 Thread Parag Shah

Hello,

I am trying to configure my broadband (Iqara ) on Ubuntu - Feisty Fawn.

I was able to setup /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider using pppoeconf. However,
when I try to connect to Iqara using
pon dsl-provider
I get an authentication failure I have verified the username and password
(by changing settings in options to actually show the username and password
in the log file), and they are correct. The authentication mechanism being
used is PAP.

Has anyone come accross this problem? Any pointers will be very helpfull.

Given the fact most of the providers using CHAP rather PAP by default, how
about enforcing CHAP at your end PPPD options. Besides that, you could
also
increase the verbosity of PPPD as well as provide options to log all the
details somewhere and then can see what problem is there.

Please read __ man pppd __ to see how to make PPPD be more verbose as well
as
to log to a specific file.
