Lines: 33 Message-ID: <3r77nm$1jk@berlin.infomatch.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 199.60.99.120 Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.2 I have been playing phone tag with BSDI with no answers for 3 days so I am posting here: When we were running 1.1 we had a situation where users were assigned different Class C IP's than the host machine and the slip.login script could successfully assign arp entires via an arp -s command. This allowed us to accomodate users who had their own IP's, or to accomodate a pool of users larger than one Class C. It also allowed different SLIP client IP's to be used seamlessly amongst different host machines here. In 2.0 this doesn't work, and you can only add an arp -s entry for the Class C that the host machine is on, or the Class C of another machine that is directly LAN connected. I am asking if there are other solutions rather than changing IP's for the end users? Thanks for any assistance.. -- ,.-=~'`^`'~=-.,__,.-=~'`^`'~=-.,__,.-=~'`^`'~=-.,__,.-=~'`^`'~=-.,__,. |||| John Chapman UNIX - SL/IP - WWW || john@infomatch.com (604)421-3230 |||| InfoMatch Communications Inc http://infomatch.com
