I've been trying to do this anyway: ifconfig tun0 alias <fake address not used in our subnet> <dynamic ip> ifconfig tun0 alias <same dynamic ip> <gateway> I can then telnet to both addresses but the alias address is probably not broadcasted properly (I don't have another computer to test it from at the moment). BTW, when I run user ppp without playing with ifconfig I get my dynamic ip aliased to my gateway. Why is that? Is ifconfig performing the same function as "route add" or something? Anyone care to give me a hand?
