Hey Ken !
Thank you very much for your answer. But the dns aren't the problem.
All the settings worked before with Mandrake 7.2, but with a serial
Modem
and with Debian 2.2 with ISDN !
Now i have freshly installed Mandrake 8.0 !
The problem is that I get the connect and then the remote site drops the
connection. In
/Var log/messages I can see that something like this:
isdn info: no CHAP secret for this user ....
But the chap and pap secrets are there in trhe form like this:
'username' * 'password'
But he doesn't seem to like it somehow. For me, it sounds like a common
problem for ISDN and Mandrake, cause I have found several site with
users who have the same problem with Mandrake from 6.1 till 8.0.
Some have managed it by doing this:
pap and chap-screts
username<tab>*<tab>password
And it worked. But for me it doesn't work. So I am searching on.
Thanks
Anes
