Hello, I just installed Deb3.0 - attempting to migrate from Mandrake8.0 - so far it's amazing! I can't get connected via dialup to the net. I'm used to kppp, which was easy. Now it dials in and immediately disconnects with an Error1 msg, saying that the Remote Host didn't send the right password or something. When I use kppp as root, it connects (after I commented out the "auth" line in /etc/ppp/options, but it won't resolve any hosts, so I can't get to any webpages or check email via pop. When connected as root, my local IP is listed as 216.9.74.11, and the remote is listed as 216.9.92.198 - it should be 198.252.201.5. I tried creating a blank /etc/resolv.conf file, and also tried removing the diald package (I read it somewhere..), all with no luck. As user I can't connect at all, as root I can connect but DNS won't resolve. When I first installed, I put in my ISP info and it connected successfully during the install process, as another dpkg source. From there I was able to start Mozilla and surf with no problem. But when pppd died, so did my hopes of ever getting back on the net again in my life (possibly a good thing?). I've been reading and trying this thing for hours - any clues or pointers would be greatly appreciated. I saw an error msg which mentioned something about the "default route" - I going to read up on that, and also how to connect to the net without using kppp, and in the meanwhile hopefully someone can send me another pointer also. Thanks much,
