I have pppconfig and used /etc/chatscripts,read man diald, corrected diald.options,corrected /etc/diald/connect . Nothing works. I am also confused. Pl help.Internet with WINDOWS works fine in the same computer.(Dual OS) >C.Ramachandran Try using PAP authentication, since most ISP's use it. Also check your kernel version against the pppd version. 2.4 kernels need the 2.4 ppp daemon. And have kernel ppp stuff compiled as modules. Be sure you're using an external modem (that has complete hardware stuff inside, w/c is most probably complete anyway...) or an internal modem that has modules for Linux use. Call your ISP if everything else doesn't work. If they're open enough, they'll give you some tips and even support for configuring ppp on your box. Sometimes you need to tweak your ppp configuration some more. It took me a year to get the perfect recipe in ppp (I only got it right 6 months ago), but it was well worth it, as networked operations are way better in Linux than in Windows.
