Ethernet broadband passwords in Mandriva
To All,
I recently successfully installed Mandriva.I have broadband and after many failures with a DSL[USB] modem,I finally settled for a ZyXel coupled through my Ethernet card.It connects to my provider no problems.
However when I try to access the internet with my Browser[Konqueror,Mozilla or Epiphany}they all come up with a dialogue box requesting passwords etc.and I can get nowhere.
This is what is required
System password
Username: This I can supply correctly
Password[to getinto my supplier] This I can supply correctly
The trouble seems to be in the system password.
I have tried my mandriva user and root passwords + the supplier password to no avail.I cannot find any provision to set another password.
Can anybody please help me on this problem
Yours
