Hi Kirk,
I think your system is requesting the remote system to authenticate. This is
unnecessary. Your system only needs answer the authentication request from the
remote system. This feature allows both peers to mutually authenticate for
added security.
You need to add the keyword "noauth" (without quotes) to kppp script and
remove "auth" if present. I think this can also be done in the GUI. This
should turn off the request to the remote system for authentication.
If you havn't turned on the debug logging for kppp then do so as you will find
it easier to debug. Next time you have a problem please insert an extract of
the log as this will aid 3rd parties in helping you. Make sure any passwords
and user ids are replaced by ***** in your E-mail to maintain your security.
Dean.
