My Linux browser is Firefox. When I ask it to go to 10.1.1.1, I'm prompted for the user name and password and I give those and press Enter. Then, the browser says that it's waiting for 10.1.1.1 and never connects.
Sounds like you are entering incorrect username and/or password. It is probably case sensitive - if the password in the book is lowercase make sure you type it lower case.
PS: Ian McDonald, who kindly directed me to this list, said he thought that there'd been some discussion on this list recently about my modem. I searched for "302" by thread for each month for 2005, but found nothing. Perhaps the thread didn't make reference to that number. In any event, if you see this, Ian, I wouldn't want you to think I didn't bother trying the archives first.
The discussion is here: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/wlug/2005-October/007404.html but I don't think it will actually help you unfortunately! Ian -- Ian McDonald http://wand.net.nz/~iam4 WAND Network Research Group University of Waikato New Zealand
