[newbie] isa modem again

2000-07-23 Thread Martin B

well folks after adding the line
  
into the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file
and checking if there was a line auth in the
/etc/ppp/options
(all there was in this file was lock)
im still unable to authenticate on dial up
i talked to the provider and they siad authentication is any encryption and
clear text
now would any one know where the option is so i can turn off the bit where
its treating the remote server like a remote user
or can i get away with using a script and if so
what order do i have to have it in

[newbie] isa modem again

2000-07-23 Thread Martin B

well i finally managed to get the modem to get past the initilized
stage and it dials etc but the kppp deamon dies when it comes to
authentication
on the providers network
i clicked the details button and is say this

By default the remote user is required to authenticate itself
because the system has a default route to the internet
but i couldnt find any suitable(secrect) password for it to use to do so
none of the available passwords would let it do so

lovely message dont you think
now i have put in my user name and password for provider in the right place
and have tryed pap and the other option just in case that was the problem
but it
still comes up with the same lovely message in details when the deamon dies

do any of you know how i would go about getting this resolved
