Well this is how it goes.  I can not completly autenticate.  The auth. server
will not give me a valid ip address.  hence it is not serving ip addresses,
router and so forth.  what happens from what I can see is the server is trying
to give me an ip of 0.0.0.0. merlins and warps dialers will not let me ha an ip
adrdress of 0.0.0.0 and it sould not because that is not vaild for miami or
pretty much any place else.  it lso tries to give 0.0.0.0 for the router ip
address.  don't know if this helps.
 
btw...
 
i too am haveing trouble getting the server to responding and asking for a
username and password.
 
Just my two cents worth.
