Hi Ray.

Try here for more information:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/doc/81/en/user.html/draknet.html#MANDRAKE-CONTROL-CENTER

You want to try different connection options:

CHAP
PAP
CHAP/PAP

Every ISP (earthlink, midspring, aol....) use a different one, o you
want to try them all.



Hope this helps.



Salut,
Sinner
