- Well, I've spent 4 hours trying to get it to work. No go so far.
- My normal account, that I've had for a long time still works fine.
-
- I even tried installing into another directory, assigning to that one and
- configuring it for the new account. On startnet it seems like it get to
- the startnet line "waitforport AMITCP" and hangs. "Amitcp couldn't be
- started" then appears. Im using 4.2 and it never gets to the ppp.config
- section nor writes to the file.
-
- Any ideas why?
-
- Thanks
