Re(2): [newbie] Can't connect to the internet....
No matter what I try, I am still getting this error message: May 3 14:22:52 localhost pppd[917]: The remote system is required to authenticate itself but I couldn't find any secret (password) which would let it use an IP address. Can someone explain what this means?

Re: [newbie] Can't connect to the internet....
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.

I have set up a connection with Kppp. Everything goes ok, the modem connects, but the ppp demon says that it dies when the password is requested, and I get a message, from the log, saying it could not find the secret password... What's going on?

RE: RE: [newbie] Can't Connect to the Internet
The adapter address is hardware and you don't need to worry about that. You need to input the IP, subnet, gateway, and also the DNS IP (yes it is different from your IP). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2000 11:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: RE: [newbie] Can't Connect to the Internet Ed I don't understand this part of your message: incorrect DNS addies entered for your card Does my card itself have an address associated with it?

RE: [newbie] Can't Connect to the Internet
Go into Drakconf, select Network Configuration. If you have anything set in primary gateway, or the incorrect DNS addies entered for your card, it may prevent correct dns resolution. I had the samething happening when I was attempting to set up internet sharing with another computer and forgot to remove that ip addie and dns address from in there.
