That's definitely a problem. You need more in there than that. I've attached a copy of my options file. You'll notice that the first line contains my login info. This is not my user login and password, but the one generated by Worldnet, that was stored in my old dialer program, and was negotiated before my old browser came up on the screen.

[newbie] isa modem again
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 Martin
Re: [newbie] isa modem again
Martin Try changing your auth. from PAP to CHAP. My ISP uses CHAP and so might yours.

It has to do with the network configuration, where you show which computer is the gateway and or if you show two IP addresses for the same computer, like 127.0.0.1 /name and 192.168.0.1/name. I played with so many of the netconfig settings before I solved the problem that I am not sure exactly which one did it. I need to keep a detailed log of these things as I go. Anyway the message indicates that you probably maybe definitly have your modem configured correctly, just need to get the routing right. I know, not much help, but maybe pointing you in the right direction. -- Dennis Registered Linux user # 180842

I think you need to set up (as root) your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file. Pattern is: login name * Password Save it and try it again. Good luck!

[newbie] isa modem again
well folks after adding the line loginname ppp0 password 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 Martin
