Newbie with newly installed Debian "Lenny".

By: rekha singh | 11 Jun 2010 6:44 pm

I wonder if someone can help me out. I am a newbie to Linux although I did have Mandrake running a few years ago. My Debian installation went fine until I tried to connect to my provider. GnomePPP loaded fine and dial-up dialed. After dialing it just hung there. I tried changing permissions (chmod) but that did not work.

 
I am sure that there is another step that I am missing; a way to authenticate the connection possibly PAP or something like it. Any
directions you might have would be appreciated. I don't know how to get PAP on top of c.
 
The Debian pages are mixed up, so I thought I would use the Linux group. I would like to use Debian because it seems to be very stable once it is running. I also covet those 25,000 packages.
 
Thank you.
