dizzy,

Check your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file. It should look like this:

# Secrets for authentication using PAP # client server secret IP addresses "put your isp user name here" * "put your isp passwd here"

Hi Steve It looks exactly like that # client server secret Ip address "my_user_name" * "my_password" rob - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
