Ok here's the problem. I can connect to my ISP just fine.
When I try to connect to work I get disconnected.
At work they said that we use CHAP. I use Network Configurator in RedHat 5.2. There is nothing in it for CHAP only for PAP.
Can anyone help me on this one?

You can set up linux to use CHAP instead. The network configurator sets up secrets in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets, try copying that file to chap-secrets and see if it'll connect. The protocols have different secrets files, I *think* they are the same format but better check http://www.linuxplanet.com/discussion/smile.gif

Ages ago I once did everything manually, but then I found netconf and I've been lazy ever since hehehe....
