Description Tim Waugh 2000-01-24 11:17:08 UTC 
Using rp3-config to dial my ISP doesn't work.

Password: Looks like a password prompt.

Entering PPP mode.

Async interface address is unnumbered (FastEthernet0)

Your IP address is 62.136.240.118. MTU is 1500 bytes

Looks like a welcome message.
Starting pppd at Mon Jan 24 11:17:16 2000
PPP daemon has died! (exit code = 10)
Disconnecting at Mon Jan 24 11:17:17 2000

Jan 24 11:17:17 turmoil pppd[4077]: Peer is not authorized to use remote
address 195.92.66.33
Jan 24 11:17:17 turmoil pppd[4077]: Connection terminated.

This happens with _and_ without 'let ppp do all authentication'. When using
Linuxconf, and then /sbin/ifup pppX, it works fine.

Doublechecked for 2 ISPs.
Comment 1 Nalin Dahyabhai 2000-03-06 15:16:59 UTC 
Do you have any other interfaces present on the workstation?  You should only
see this error if you have another network interface up, or if you've somehow
configured pppd to require the other end to have a specific address other than
195.92.66.33.
Comment 2 Nalin Dahyabhai 2000-04-06 20:33:59 UTC 
Is this fixed in the latest initscripts and ppp releases?
Comment 3 Jules Stuifbergen 2000-04-07 08:28:59 UTC 
Yes it is.
You can close this bug.
