Date: 9 Oct 1996 04:18:19 GMT Organization: software magic Lines: 15 Message-ID: <01bbb598$cc4745a0$036e6dce@karla> NNTP-Posting-Host: 206.109.110.3 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Newsreader: Microsoft Internet News 4.70.1155 I built a kernel that supports pppd. Then i setup a user id that uses a login script to start a pppd session. I setup up Internet Explorer on Windows95 to dial into my freeBSD system. IE asks for my user ID and password, i use the user id and password for the freeBSD system. FreeBSD answers the phone and there is some conversation between IE 3 and FreeBSD. After a while, IE reports the host has refused the connection. Occasionally, FreeBSD reports 3 or 4 failed login attempts (sometimes it does not report this). I'm lost, does anyone have any ideas on this. dave
