Dial-Up PPP Connections
Dial-up connections can be managed using the pppconfig utility. Simply run pppconfig, and you
are provided with a menu from which you can create, modify, and delete dial-up connections. If
you have not created a connection yet, you will want to select that option from the menu. Otherwise,
you can edit your existing connections.
The pppconfig utility will ask a number of questions during the connection creation process. Start
by selecting ???Create a connection,??? and then enter the following information as prompted:
1. Provider name??”Enter any name you like to identify this connection. For the dial-up
entry to your primary ISP, you can simply leave the name provider as the Provider name.
2. DNS server configuration method??”Here you can configure the connection to static
DNS servers if needed. This is probably not necessary unless your service provider
included the DNS server in the information that it provided about the connection. If
you aren??™t certain, select Dynamic DNS and change it later if needed.
3. Authentication method??”This is the method that your computer will use to identify
itself to the dial-up server.
