I know this one. Is the network configured, and if so, does it have a default route set? Because if it does, it may get upset about authenticating. I had this with my girlfriend's PC, running Debian and connecting to nthellworld. Of course, this presupposes that you've checked you're using the correct name and password...

I used it for years, but am now on Telewest Broadband. Yes, you won't get assistance from BT as they don't spend the money to provide staff with Linux knowledge or experience, or provide documented guidance on their web site. Whether or not that's the "right" answer for BT and their customers is moot. I would recommend you use the program wvdial. It will greatly simplify setup, and provide you the ability to debug configuration settings for any problems that arise. It may already be installed on your Linux box, if not, easily found via Google. ___ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
