Hi all, I had GNOME really go south on me this last weekend and I have reconstructed my user with KDE. I managed to backup all my files to CDR but now I can't get kppp to let me use the connection. It thinks it must authenticate my ISP and I can't get it to just authenticate itself to the ISP. When it can't, it just starts over dialing the ISP. I have gone through the help files, which talk about authenticating the server but mine seems to be setup right, and the logs and all I can see in them is it can't find a "secret" password to authenticate my ISP. Because of this problem I have to write this on my wife's computer (win95 8-( with a slow modem). Does anybody have any ideas where I should go and look? Thank you very much.
