This sounds like the same problem I had with one of the servers here when setting up my father-in-law's computer recently. It seems that Yast and kinternet are both setup ok, it is not the fault of those programs. It is in fact the ISP doing stupid things with their servers, most likely Windows operated machines! So for a stupid OS, you must tell your configure to use the stupid mode! Edit your /etc/wvdial.conf file and add the line: Stupid Mode =1 or Stupid Mode =yes anywhere in the config file and I think you will see things come to life! This, I believe, causes the dialer to immediately hit the server with information rather than wait for it, thus not giving it a chance to screw things up. Someone more knowledgable here can correct that if I am misinformed. This worked for me I know and Linux dials in so much quicker than Windows machines, it is amazing! Stupid Windows machines, will they never learn, we Linux guys know how to fix things! :o) Patrick -------------------------- On Thursday 23 May 2002 00:57, dh wrote:

Hello, I've recently installed SuSE Linux 8.0 Personal and I have some problems with the kinternet application. When I configure my 56k modem dial-up connection using YAST2 and try to connect via kinternet, after a short time the modem hangs-up. From the log window I get something like this:

... pppd: User Access Verification pppd: Username: pppd: --> Looks like a login prompt. pppd: --> Sending: dummy pppd: dummy pppd: Password: pppd: --> Looks like a password prompt. pppd: --> Sending: (password) pppd: % Authentication failed. pppd: Username: pppd: --> Looks like a login prompt. pppd: --> Sending: dummy pppd: dummy pppd: Password: pppd: --> Looks like a password prompt. pppd: --> Sending: (password) pppd: % Authentication failed. pppd: NO CARRIER Stopping connection. (2002-05-22 22:17:43 EEST) ...

I have checked the username and the password and I can also connect via kppp without any problems. What's going wrong?Any ideas?

I had thie same problem w/SuSE 7.2. Yast2 never set up kinternet properly, kppp would work but I'd get the same errors you do if I used kinternet.

I ended up editing my /etc/wvdial.conf by hand (I think I may have used kwvdial the first time). If kppp is working then you should be able to transfer the info you need from there.

I edited the wvdial.conf file, I put in my personal information (password etc...), and the Studip mode is set to 1, but still nothing! When I ran wvdial, I connected normally! Probably it is the bug in smpppd that Adrian Schroeter mentioned. I'll way for the update! Thanks!
