I think I may know whats wrong. Go to kppp, check your accounts and edit
Earthlink.
What do you have under Authentication? "Usually PAP or CHAP, it does not hurt
to try both"
You allow yourself to be assigned a Dynamic IP Correct?
Also go over you Login Script, make sure everything is correct, although I
assume it is. Make sure the first two are set correctly, either can be the
reason why it is disconnected befor you get a IP address.
