I don't know what the problem might be without the configuration of your pppd daemon, and information about authentication methods in that ISP. For instance, with Extreme (www.x-treme.gr) that I'm now using, one has to use a funny authentication method. When I dial and get connected, x-treme.gr connects back to me on TCP/6699 and waits for an authentication string. If I don't send it, the line is closed. Now you can see why I can't help much without knowing more information about your ISP and/or pppd setup. However the following will probably help you debug it yourself :) You can enable verbose logging in pppd by adding to your current /etc/ppp/options the keyword: debug Then add the following lines to your /etc/syslog.conf and send a HUP signal to syslogd so that it rereads the config file. !pppd *.* /var/log/ppp.log This will make sure that all messages from pppd will go into ppp.log After that, you can watch as thing get written into /var/log/ppp.log while you're running pppd to connect to your ISP, by executing before you start pppd to dial: # tail -f /var/log/ppp.log & Now, you're ready to dial in... -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > For my public PGP key: finger keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr PGP fingerprint, phone and address in the headers of this message.
