Have a look in your /etc/ppp/options file - somewhere it probably
says somethng like this
------------------------> snip <----------------------
# Require the peer to authenticate itself before allowing network
# packets to be sent or received.
# Please do not disable this setting. It is expected to be standard in
# future releases of pppd. Use the call option (see manpage) to disable
# authentication for specific peers.
auth
-----------------------> snip <------------------------
try making it
noauth
See if that helps..... If not change it back and ask again!
