Internet Connection Prbs with Mandrake 7.2
My modem connects to the ISP but does nothing else, I occasionally get PPPD error messages and can't connect over 9600, regardless of the settings!
!!! Help
Okay I'm using Mandrake 7.2 with the kppp (kde) dial frontend,
I can`t connect to the internet, I keep
getting pppd server died
unexpectedly errors?...I`ve gone into
/etc/ppp/options and looked at the
file. I have been told to change the
`auth` command to `#auth` or `noauth`
but to no avail. Also when I ran
`ifconfig` in the terminal I got the
following but no `ppp0` entry?
[palisade@localhost palisade]$ su -

ifconfig

I get ppp errors, timeouts and a connection that isn't really a connection!
This is really getting me down.
Please help.
My pc spec follows:
Desktop - Custom
CPU : Athlon - 1.2Ghz Overclocked to 1425Mhz
Manufactuer : Amd - Thunderbird
RAM (Mo) : 256 - 133cas2 Crucial running at 152
Hard disk : I.B.M. - 46.1Gb Deskstar
Video card : No record - 3dfx Voodoo 5500 AGP
Sound card : Creative labs - SB Live Platinum
CD / DVD ROM : No record - 54x cheapo
Operating System : Mandrake - 7.2
Modem : Us Robotics - Sportster Flash 56k
Printer : Epson - Colour Stylus 440
Also have Win98se Installed, managed by lilo boot manager
==========================
==========================
I can now get online but i can only connect with the setting at 23400 (Not sure if that is exact) but the connection speed is 9600!
This is the only speed that will connect at all, the others just come up with errors 10 or 16 which are pppd timeouts as I recall!
Any other ideas?
