[plug] ppp problems - No Response to PAP authenticate-requests

[Brad Hill]

That's there, (automatically generated by wvdial).  There's also a
chap-secrets that it could fall back to if needed,  but that's definately
not the problem.  The dialing side sends the username and password, but just
never gets a response for some reason... there must be something i can set
up on the dialing side though because other machines can log in (windows xp
logs on fine, and another rt338 can dial in ok also).  I was thinking maybe
removing header compression etc but i've tried most of the compression
switches in the man page for pppd (sorry, i don't have access to the
complete list of which switches i have tried so far at the moment) and still
no luck, not sure if i'm grasping at straws with that or not either.

BTW, did you go to John Forrest SHS Troy?  The name is very familiar.

Maybe you need a pap-secrets file. For example

# cat /etc/ppp/pap-secrets

# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client        server  secret                  IP addresses
"Brad"          *       "xxxxxxxx"

Of course replace xxxxxxxx with your password.

Troy.
