pppd authentication failure, please help... dying to get online
Hi
Finally I set my winmodem and it is running, yes... :)
Now it dials the number, does the inital communications and then gives me the
following error message:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
May 23 13:45:07 jms-pc3 pppd[540]: The remote system is required to
authenticate itself
May 23 13:45:07 jms-pc3 pppd[540]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret
(password) for it to use to do so.
May 23 13:45:07 jms-pc3 pppd[540]: (None of the available passwords would let
it use an IP address.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know what this means. I am sure my password is OK.
I am using kppp and wvdial. In kppp, I have chosen the PAP/CHAT
authentication. Also, I have left the IP address and Gateway to automatically
be assigned and my kernel supports PPP and SLIP.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks
Hamid
