Date: 15 Jun 1996 23:10:30 GMT Organization: University of Maryland, Baltimore County Lines: 34 Message-ID: <4pvft6$3aj@news.umbc.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: alumni.umbc.edu NNTP-Posting-User: ssriva1 X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I would like to run "user ppp" to connect to at&t worldnet. Is user ppp the same as iijp or whatever it is called. Here is the relevant information from a file called "att.sr" as follows: [Dial-In Configuration] Name=999999999@worldnet.att.net #login username Password=123lkjd86 #password Note: The above values are made up, but username does have the form some-number@worldnet.att.net. Phone=+1 (703) 685-8700 SiteName=AT&T WorldNet [IP] DNSAddress=204.127.129.1 DNSAddress2=204.127.160.1 Enabled=Yes IPAddress=0.0.0.0 DomainName=worldnet.att.net I notice there is no gateway and netmask. I called at&t, and they say that they don't use these. The IP address is dynamically assigned and in the form 199.70.x.x. And I believe worldnet uses CHAP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sandip Srivastava ssriva1@alumni.umbc.edu
