Sounds like it may be a PAP/CHAP authorization issue. Could you post the contents of your wvdial.conf file please? Thanks.

Howdy tompouceuh,

Iv'e been having a login problem with my isp, using wvdial, recently. Not an issue with wvdial, and the messages i get suggest it may be a different reason , but ...

Your config there has a host name included in the username field. I heard thats how it's done in windows, but for linux, iv'e never used anything other than my isp user name with out any problems.

You could try looking into your /etc/ppp/options or /etc/ppp/peers/options file and increase the time out setting.

In my case wvdial was connecting with a "CHAP" exchange, or so i though. There was little to verify that in the logs except for LCP "sent" "rcvd" exchanges, but PAP will do the same.

My isp stated and states that they do a CHAP process, but their very very much so a MS isp. Recently i just got locked out (for a week) and recently got back in.

I had to add an option in my wvdial.conf file ...

Stupid Mode = yes

(of all things (grin)) ...

Now the logs state explicitly that the exchange is a PAP login, which i'm not very happy about.

All "Stupid Mode" does is prevent wvdial from attempting to interpret any brain-dead prompts that the isp may be using, it justs starts up pppd straight away, and so, streams over the username and password. The PAP thing is a config change on my providers part, even though they denied it ... hmmm, an auto-update on a IIS server me thinks ...

In any case, your hassle is probably quite different, but tweaking the timing parameters in the options file, and maybe playing with the settings in "man wvdial,conf" hopefully maybe of some help.

A curious thing though, your screen echos differ to mine in some interesting ways.

I don't get the ...

Password:
--> Looks like a password prompt.
--> Sending: (password)

bit, They may be trying to prompt you for a pssword, which you wont be able to enter. Thats the style that my isp says they use -=- aka -=- a windows specific dialog popup ... using "Stupid Mode = yes" pushes me straight passed that now.

The only other real difference in your config there is tje "@hostname" on the end of your user name. As said, iv'e never had to do that. The next time i connect i'll try it and see if it errors out. I also experimented with "noauth" in my options file, that cause a connection to succeed then very soon after to bail out with a "no quoted tex in rcvd LCP packet" message. Makes sense.

Wish i could be of more help on this, but tweaking the options file may just do it.
