Hi Sluggers, Got a problem with Bpalogin. I've tried it on, RH8.0, 9.0 + Mandrake 9 + 9.1 and it doesn't work. It seems to work ok on Mandrake 8.0 though and I think RH 7.3. I'm not sure what the changes are that screwed with its functionallity but it certainly isn't working properly in the newer versions of both. I have been to the bpalogin sourceforge site and a few people seem to have to same problem but there seem to be only half ar$ed answers there and they really don't help much. I do get a DHCP assigned IP from bigpond and I ping the dce-server, I can also ftp to the update-server (I think that's what it's called), or wherever you download the utilities from. But Bpalogin still doesn't work. I've got it working by going into windows and logging in, writing down the IP I was assigned, rebooting into Linux and manually assigning that IP to the eth device, and finally using Bids2login. This works ok in RH 9.0, but it is a PAIN in the ar$e, and I don't want to see those bloody multicoloured, wavey four squares any more than I have to. Also, bids2login doesn't seem to work in Mandrake 9.1 for some reason. It comes up with a "reslov" error or something like that... Anyone had any luck fixing this? Would appreciate the help, so I can log back on to that rip-off of an ISP in Linux again! Thanks, Mal --
