Linux/pppd/Connection dropped

I am trying to connect to my work network using firepass but am getting "Waiting for 127.0.0.1" followed by "Connection dropped"

 

 

Can someone advise?

 

 

pppd messages are:

 

========================================================

I have added the user trying to make the connection to the same group as the executables under /usr/local.

 

And defined an entry in sudoers for the same group giving perms for /usr/sbin/pppd.

 

 

I am running Fedora 8 x86-64.

 

 

Thanks
