PLESE help me with my kppp connection PLEASE
My kppp connection fails giving the following message: The remote server is required to authenticate itself but I couldn't find any suitanle secret(password) for it to use to do so.

You try to force your isp to authenticate against you. While this ... short, they're bigger, you loose. The relevant config script (don't know what kppp produces, usually there are some of them hanging around) you have to define: noauth Please ask questions about using debian on the debian-user mailing list. greetings, martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Strange delays - new to this Please Help! Thanks
Hi, Todd! You should first mail to debian-user for questions like this. d-anounce is definitely the wrong place. I left the other list adresses in for this mail, so that people know that there was an answer to your request. When you reply, please consider to remove some more. I can only guess that you hosed your network setup. Although networking is well structured, it may well look confusing to a newbie at first. The reason for most delays are network packets send to unknown or unreachable hosts. Timeouts then are the only indication for the local host that sth. is wrong and they may take a while (you wouldn't want to loose your packets to mars because of timeouts). The most important network inside your linux box is the unix network. Everything else is for most installations TCP/IP networking. Some files in the /etc directory (where all the configuration for your machine is stored) store the basic networking configuration: hosts - your local 'DNS'. Hostnames to IP-Numbers table. Only used when host.conf - contains 'order host,...', see? The file resolv.conf - at last stores adresses of name servers. If any of your programs calls for a host by its name, this has to be translated (looked up) into the corresponding IP number, as the network itself doesn't know anything about names. If this lookup process is misconfigured, the resulting timeouts make up already for quite a delay. Now all your packets have to find their way through the network. This is known as 'routing'. See the 'route' and 'ping' commands. Most networking commands have an option like '-n', that makes them output (N)umbers instead of names. Trying one and the same command that hangs without -n once again with -n and it works, shows you clearly that you have a problem looking up names. KDE is communicating a lot, fix your network and retry. You found out that networking is very important these days. Try to read up on how this is handled with linux and the tools. You won't have to install obscure tools then, to try to make it, hm, work, as it did under this other non-free os ... There are a lot of good readings on the internet. For a fine catalog with well defined topics you might want to look at 'dmoz.org'. This one is FREE! Have fun! martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi All, Sorry about the multiple To: but I'm new to this and I don't know what category this falls into: My PC is running KDE2 and I put a program called cnet (network layer simulator) which requires tcl/tk to run it's windows on and for some reason the program takes 3 minutes before the windows are displayed. When I run this at Uni it is instant. Also, I just tried to set up my 56K modem and I ran a program called ppp-up and followed to instructions to the tee. For some reason once I ran this program, my modem connected but Netscape didn't seem to think so. Ever since this My KDE has thrown its toys. It now hangs on every window open (between 30secs - 1min). When my PC boots up it hangs for about a minute on the line: Starting system log daemon : syslogd and then also for about another minute when loading the window manager. It now takes aboout 5-7 minutes for KDE to load up. Please can someone help me with these problems.
