Hi list, I have used wvdial to access my work dial-up for several years with no problems. I am now trying to connect via an alternative dial-up account (new job), using exactly same wvdial parameters, apart from the phone number, username and password. When I connect to the new account, wvdial appears to send my username and password several times before starting pppd as a last resort, then the modem immediately hangs up. It seems like the authentication isn't proceeding correctly. I have tried two different account username-password combinations so I'm pretty sure it isn't down to user error...
Using my partner's laptop it is possible to dial-up to the new account using KPPP with no problems, which suggests that there is no problem at the remote end. I don't run kde on my laptop, so this isn't an option for me. He also had problems connecting using wvdial the one time he tried it I believe, but put it down to a backslash in his password, and soon after switched to using KPPP anyway. Has anyone encountered similar problems, and if so what was the solution? Thanks, naomi. __________________________________________________ Yahoo!
