Re: Spreading Linux..... new PPP problem :(.
Yes, we use the same dialup number and everything. Our ISP only authenticates
with CHAP, so we have to use this chap-secrets thing.
The chap secrets, now mode 600, in /etc/ppp has - Hisusername * Hispassword -
in it, just like mine.
The PPP.log says:

I don't know much about this, but it looks as if the server is sending Config
Requests, and his computer is Rejecting them.
This may be related to what I asked about first, when it said it couldn't find
the authentication files.
Any ideas?
Thanks alot!
