Hi, Minhaz. This is my /etc/ppp/options: ---------------- lock noauth noipdefault usepeerdns ---------------- And these are the permissions of files in /etc/ppp/: -rw------- 1 root oscar 131 jul 12 00:18 chap-secrets -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 310 dic 26 2000 ip-down* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 963 jun 14 15:32 ip-up* -rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 36 dic 10 2000 options -rw------- 1 root daemon 88 jun 3 15:09 pap-secrets drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 48 dic 10 2000 peers/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root oscar 46 jul 16 21:17 resolv.conf The permissions of pppd are: -rwsr-xr-t 1 root root 184796 dic 10 2000 /usr/sbin/pppd* (If you execute linuxconf, maybe it changes the permissions) I use kppp, and works fine. Have you recompiled your kernel? Have you removed the ppp support? Try executing... modprobe ppp_generic modprobe ppp_async modprobe ppp_deflate ...before dialing. Do it works? Good luck! óscar.
