RE: [expert] mandrake 7 probs revisited
Thanks for the help on the pppd problem. As soon as I read the message, I did remember reading that a while back. Then I was running 6.1 and just brushed it off. pppd now connects, however, I cant surf at all. There is no errors given, just sets there twirling the N logo I couldn't get X to redo, so since I just installed 7.0 I decided to re-install it. I have the above pppd prob and also my cd-rw (/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom) will not operate My zip drive used to be (/dev/hdb4 /mnt/zip) and now is /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip. Why did this happen. I think if I can get it back to /hdb4 my cdrom will work. All of my drives in the system are IDE. I have a : /hda1 - Win98 /hda5 - Win /hdc1 - Win (data storage) / swap I chose to install supermount since it worked so well at the office. Although there I don't have but one hd and one cdrom (IDE) Is this a supermount prob (I know little about it) I see a reinstall coming since my inet won't let me surf Thanks all, Brian D.

RE: [expert] mandrake 7 probs revisited
noauth worked. As to connect at least, just cant surf right now though. Cant even ping an outside site. It never times out, just sits there playin' stupid Brian D.

I put it in kppp's arguments area, that worked fine. Brian D.

RE: [expert] mandrake 7 probs revisited
Hi, I had this problem too. You must use "netcfg" the first time, make pppd work well, and then, you will be able to use kppp. So, as root, start the application "netcfg", and add an interface ppp. Then, get pppd work : ifup ppp0 Surf on the internet. Then, you can stop pppd : ifdown ppp0. Now, you can use kppp. It should work.

Re: [expert] mandrake 7 probs revisited
In kppp config, go to accounts, edit (or add one if you haven't), in the dial tab select arguments and add "noauth" without the quotes. For you X problem, you have to supply more information about the video card in order to help you. Klar Brian D Contr MSG/SWS, escribió: I just installed Mandrake 7 yesterday. I cant get pppd to work.

The proglem is that pppd is requiring the remote computer (the dial-up server) to authenticate itself, which is NOT standard procedure most places. The solution is to add "noauth" to the options.
