Hi there, I thought I'd make this offering to the God-of-all-technical-knowledge that is Slug, because it's very annoying that the windows solution "just works" (dammit).
I'm trying to set up a dialup ppp connection to my ISP (Inspired) while my ADSL connection is transfered to my new address. Of course, they can't tell me what protocols are used, or any useful information about what I need to do as I'm not running RH, and they only know how to run the RH setup, which apparently works. There's a whole other story there about the evil-ness of Linux-for-dummies approach of RH hiding the need to understand how things work ... but I won't go there. I have the dialing and connection working, but the ISP goes straight into some protocol (I'm guessing PAP) without asking for username/password, like every other ISP I've ever used. here are my ppp options, in /etc/ppp/options ... # General configuration options for PPPD: lock defaultroute noipdefault modem /dev/ttyS0 115200 crtscts passive asyncmap a0000 usepeerdns noauth my /etc/pap-secrets and /etc/chap-secrets the same with ... # client server secret "my-user-name" * "my-password" I'm guessing this is the problem somehow ... but those are the only two bits of information required by Win2K to get the connection working. All the PAP and CHAP stuff is voodoo mumbo jumbo to me, I mean, what's wrong with usernames and passwords! Sigh. and the log of the connection from /var/log/pppd/current ...

Any ideas? Cheers, Jonathan. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
