Hi Justin, Cud you able to make pppd up....here is what I am facing I am using linux 2.0.x and want to test the existing pppd application. I have enabled TCP/IP in networking options,.... ppp in network device support. But after loading the image in MCF5249 (Motorola Coldfire board) and then executing 'pppd' with different options ..etc' ....nothing is happening. I am getting as > pppd pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself but I pppd: couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so. pid 8: failed 256 Can you give a try for the ppd application and tell me the procedure how to make this to work. Want to know where I am going wrong. Thanks Tapan ------------------------------------------------------- Tapan, You will be much more likely to get useful answers if you post to the list, and don't email people individually. The problem you are having is because of the default option in newer versions of pppd. The "auth" option is set by default. Check out "man pppd" for details, but basically, you're requiring the remote system to authenticate itself, when you probably should not. Change that option to "noauth" and try again. Post to the list if you still have problems. Justin Guerin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
