------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-10 08:05 ------- This sucks even more: You would expect just giving the phone number, username and password, and expect it to connect, but no... You need to edit your pap-secrets file manually, give your username *twice* in the setup (username and remotename), and even then, there might still be problems because it always specifies an MRU of 296, even if you change it in the gnome-ppp settings, it will give the "mru 296" option to pppd, and this option, unfortunately, can not be overriden by specifying a MRU in /etc/ppp/options, so you're screwed if your ISP supports IPV6, because the RFCs specify that the MRU must be at least 1280, and that the default should always be 1500. So, assuming your ISP will still accept a MRU of 296, here are the steps: -1) put your username and password in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets in this form: "ELN/wfjarrett" * "<yourpassword>" Put ELN/wfjarrett *BOTH* in the User Name and Remote Name in the Authentication section, and put your password as well. Try to connect, and it should work. please e-mail me personnaly if this works, because I won't be checking the bug list for a day or two. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEEDINFO creation_date: description: I had to install KPPP to connect to the internet over a modem.
