[LI] Not connecting to Net-pppd problem

["Jeffrey Yep" <jyep@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone got an answer to the mystery why pppd expires
suddenly after connecting to the net? I'll just repeat the problem for those
who don't know abt it. I start kppp and dial to Vsnl. Everything is fine I
give my username and password and the ~ comes and pppd starts and then it
dies suddenly. Now the ppp-log file gives the following error:-

Nov 11 20:38:14 host pppd[1436]: The remote system is required to
authenticate itself but I
Nov 11 20:38:14 host pppd[1436]: couldn't find any suitable secret
(password) for it to use to do so.

Please could someone find the answer to this. I can't figure it out. Also
the ppp dialer in the Gnome Internet Menu doesn't dial only for reasons I
don't know. Hoping to get a reply soon.

Jeff
