Problem with netmod

**Bad guy** · 10-14-2005

Hi everyone!
I'm using a new UBUNTU 5.10, but the os does not seem to connect to the internet.. I did the following (suggested by the majority of the ones i asked):

I created the /dev/usb folder : sudo mkdir /dev/usb

I typed: sudo mknod /dev/usb/ttyACM0 c 166 0 (it is connected via USB in the first port, i am sure of that)

then tried the KPPP

, but while my modem responds and makes the call, the ppd deamon dies unexpectedly with a log message like the following:
Oct 12 17:01:17 localhost pppd[8635]: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
Oct 12 17:01:17 localhost pppd[8635]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.
Oct 12 17:01:17 localhost pppd[8635]: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.)

Anyone knowing what i should do?
i have two screenshots of my modem onfiguration http://users.ntua.gr/el02045/Screenshot-1.GIF and http://users.ntua.gr/el02045/Screenshot-2.GIF

It seems like my username/password is not correct but i have checked it and i cannot be mistaken..

Look in the file /etc/ppp/options for option(s) to configure ppp not to require the remote system (ISP) to authenticate...

Thanx for the answer!
I discommented all the lines in all files in /etc/ppp/, and the modem now connects..The fact is now that the connections seems to be "dead", as the packet flow is almost zero..

**CodeRoot** · 10-15-2005

Whoa!! Careful!! You may have done way more than you needed to -- if I understand correctly, you uncommented every line (or every option) in all of the files in /etc/ppp ??? Don't get carried away or you could cause more problems than you fix. Some options don't work well with [certain] other options. You might want to go at this just one step at a time...

**Bad guy** · 10-15-2005

My mistake!
No! I just uncommented the lines containing "noauth"!!!

**CodeRoot** · 10-15-2005

So - is everything working now, or are you still having problems?

still "dead connection" ? - have you tried connecting several times (with the same result)?

any 'pppd' error messages in system logs?

**Bad guy** · 10-15-2005

No, still having problems..
I am connected now, but i am in windows!!!
Now i haven't even pppd errors in order to assume a problem.. Just a dead connection..Have you a netmod modem too?What are your modem settings?

**CodeRoot** · 10-15-2005

I wouldn't assume just yet that /etc/ppp/options is completely O.K. -- Can you strip out the comments and post what is left ('grep -v "^#" /etc/ppp/options | uniq')?

Sorry, no netmod modem.

**Bad guy** · 10-15-2005

Well i finally made it..
The problem now seems to be that my connection ends after 2 minutes of linux internet experience!That is kppp forcely disconnects me..Any ideas?

**CodeRoot** · 10-16-2005

Well, now... This is very interesting... I did not know this (or forgot)... Supposedly, if you are using kppp, you do not need to set any options in /etc/ppp/options (command line option override, no doubt) - yet, something changed after you edited the file. This does not make good logical sense. I must assume that it is only partially true.

I take it from your last post that, for two minutes, everything works - Connection, Browser, Mail, etc.

As long as you are getting a good, solid connection - and not loosing it - I would not think that it is a time-out problem.

See if this will help: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/k...ppp/index.html

That failing:
Can you post all of the connection/technical data/settings from the Kppp Configuration Dialog? If you can, create "snapshot" images of the dialog.

Otherwise:
I suppose you might consider using KInternet...
