=================================================================== hey all, we are still failing to establish a connection with wvdial and pppd (on a potato system). wvdial looks all good, until we get to the login:
--> Carrier detected. Waiting for prompt. login: --> Looks like a login prompt. --> Sending: heikkin heikkin Password: --> Looks like a password prompt. --> Sending: (password) Entering PPP mode. Async interface address is unnumbered (Ethernet0) Your IP address is 216.114.40.29. MTU is 1500 bytes --> Looks like a welcome message. --> Starting pppd at Tue Jun 19 16:56:35 2001 --> PPP daemon has died! (exit code = 1) --> Disconnecting at Tue Jun 19 16:56:35 2001 ================================================================= My knowledge on this is limited, but have you made sure that you have the domain and nameserver entries in the /etc/resolv.conf file? I got this same sort of message when I was trying to dial in with wvdial and I didn't have those things in my resolv.conf. Just my $0.02. Jeremy
