Hi I have debian woody and I wanted to setup a ppp server to dial in to when I'm on the road so I won't have to pay for an isp. I have a network like this eth0 6.12.14.1/30 connected to hub and dsl-modem eth0:1 10.0.0.1/24 ip_alias connected to hub host xp 10.0.0.2/24 connected to hub host win2k 10.0.0.3/24 connected to hub I have all the traffic masqed through the linux machine's gateway, and going out eth0. What I want to do is setup ppp so it hands me an address like 10.0.0.100/24 The address has to be handed by dhcp so my BrailleNote can connect while I'm away but it is okay if dhcp hands the same address all the time. I've never done this before and have no idea where even to start.. I have no problem reading but what to read? thanks for any help, sincerely, Patrick ----- Patrick Turnage E-mail: pturnage at tampabay.rr.com AOL Instant Messenger: kg4dqk Home Page: http://www.access-connect.com
