Hatch) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc Subject: dynamic remote IP address ? Date: 20 Jul 1996 22:29:21 GMT Organization: Sent via CAIS Internet <info@cais.com> Lines: 7 Message-ID: <4srmk1$ikf@news2.cais.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: cais2.cais.com I am setting bsdi 2.1 up for a dialup ppp connection to an internet Provider, cais.com. Presently everything works through the remote login. At that point ppp times out, being unable to open a session. From my discussions with cais support, this is probably because my ppp (in ppp.sys) is expecting a fixed remote IP address. In fact, the remote IP address is variable, depending on which machine answers the phone. How do I handle this on my end using the stock bsdi 2.1 ppp ?
