WVDial problems...

I'm trying to dial up via WVDial, and I'm not getting connected for some reason... I'm sure it's a problem with my ISP asking for something, but I'm not real sure what it is.. anyone know what I might do to fix this so I can get connected through my gentoo drive?

Code:

Username:

--> Looks like a login prompt.

--> Sending: snarf1@lightbound.com

snarf1@lightbound.com

Password:

--> Looks like a password prompt.

--> Sending: (password)

greendragon>

--> Hmm... a prompt.  Sending "ppp".

ppp

IP address or hostname:

--> Looks like a login prompt.

--> Sending: snarf1@lightbound.com

snarf1@lightbound.com

Translating "SNARF1"...domain server (206.246.180.200)

% Bad IP address

greendragon>

--> Hmm... a prompt.  Sending "ppp".

ppp

IP address or hostname:

--> Don't know what to do!  Starting pppd and hoping for the best.

--> Starting pppd at Sat Nov  6 20:53:09 2004

--> pid of pppd: 20293

i have the /etc/wvdial.conf configured like this:

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS0 /* may be different on your box */
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 A11=55
Phone = your ISP phone number
Username = your username
Password = your password
New PPPD

you must also configure your /etc/resolv.conf to match your ISP DNS servers.

when --> pid of pppd: [some_number] apperars try to ping random host. if you get ICMP_Reply than you're connected.

hope this helps ...

I am also facing the same problem, but have come to conclusion that there some problem in settings in my side only. I don't face any probelm when I use kppp to connect to internet. I have also observerd that kppp does not work when I have wvdial.conf properly configured. I have to remove wvdial.conf to use kppp. Can anybody tell what exactely is wrong in configuration of wvdial ?
