I have experience with Linux for a few years but have no experience with
networking/PPP. I have installed Redhat 7 but am having problems with
connecting to my ISP (AT&T). They don't support Linux but they say you can
connect using the CHAP protocol. My modem works fine and I am able to
communicate with AT&T but I receive the error message. I'm using Kppp.
Gnome's dialer just doesn't seem to work right. My error message is as
follows:
pppd 2.3 started by root, uid 0
using interface ppp0
connect ppp0<--> /dev/ttyS1
Remote message: user domain missing/unknown/inhibited
CHAP authentication failed
HANGUP (SIGHUP)
modem hangup
connection terminated
exit
I understand that you have to edit your chap-secrets file which I've done
?????@worldnet.att.net * "password" *
where ????? indicates the user name. I believe the Remote message is trying
to tell me something but I don't know what. Do I have to give my computer a
name instead of Localhost? I've tried to do that also before I reinstalled
Redhat but it didn't' work. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Clint
