How I configured internet connection for Mandrake Linux 8.1 using KPPP on KDE :
First launch the dialler Kppp with which the connection can be parameterised (Menu item Networking/Remote Access/Internet Dialer) :
Then on this screen click on ' setup '
... then click on ' New ' to create a new connection profile. Use PAP for authentification and put in your access telephone number (the same as for windows)
Then fill the 'IP' tab as follows :
Then fill in the 'Gateway' tab :
Then configure the 'DNS' tab :
Nothing to fill in for 'login script' tab :
Nothing to fill in for 'execute' tab :
Nothing to fill in for 'accounting' tab :
Click on OK to leave this screen. Go to the tab 'device' and select the correct port for the modem to be used::
Click on 'modem' tab to select the volume :
Nothing to do for the 'graph' tab - default settings OK :
Nothing to do for the 'misc' tab - default settings OK :
That's it !!!
You can launch a connection by clicking on 'Connect' first giving :
- the login ( from windows) in the box 'Login ID'
- the password (same as for windows) in the 'Password' box
