Hum, the post I am replying to never made it to my inbox, I found about it by browsing the archive; so I'm Cc'ing you. (and the mail I sent to post code about drakconnect is not even in the archive : bah :-/)

Hum, well, I did not know it. I have used Mandrake tools in 8.0 and 8.2 and never looked at any HOW-TO, and never had problems to connect except with the expert mode of course :-). And AFAIK the eth card was always 10.0.0.10. > Hmm, I think you should not be able to peform PAP authentification without >pap-secrets, maybe there is something different with your ADSL. My >/etc/ppp/pap-secrets looks like: >'22429848' * 'secret' * >"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" * "secret" You are right of course, silly me.

I'm afraid that I don't see where your setup went wrong; did you use the expert mode in the Mandrake tool ? AFAIK it does not work correctly But I can hardly understand how it could not put the complete login in the *secrets files. Can you take a look in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/drakconnect_conf to see if your login name and password are stored as you entered them in the Mandrake tool. Gerard
