Does anyone have Earthlink Dialup working with Linux?

My ISP just got bought by them and everything was working fine until they made the total switchover and now it won't work in Linux but it will in Windows.

Yes, I added the "@isp.name" to my username and it will not work. I also tried changing the /etc/resolve.conf to use Earthlink's nameservers but still a no go.

Is there something that I am missing or what?

I don't understand why it won't work, they are using the same servers and everything that I used to connect to only they added "@isp.name" to my username. This is starting to tick me off. :mad:

It works for me using wvdial. For my username though, I have to put "ELN/" in fron t of it. So the username/password section of my /etc/wvdial.conf is like:

Username = ELN/username
Password = password

Hope that helps...

previous post was exactly right. you must have your username set up like that:

ELN/username

i've dialed-up with kppp and the dial up script ppp-go
both work fine for me.
