 |
|
Hey,
I have problems connecting to my University via WVDIAL.
Over a normal ISP it wasn't a problem to get a connection to the internet.
When I try to connect to the University first the connection gets established and I got an pppid assigned. But after a couple of seconds the connection suddenly fails and wvdial tries to reconnect. And that every time !!
Does anyone have a solution for that ??
Thanks
Mat |

Maybe your university uses chap-authentication. In this case in might even help to add
to /etc/ppp/chap-secrets. |

since there is a "*" in server section this secret is used for all connections. But since you ISP doesnt use pap it should still work. Your Uni may just want *some* answer to a chap request ... |
