I am aware that whenever you establish a user PPP connection that the port associated with the connection is 3000 plus the tunnel device number used. My question is, whenever you use tunneling (i.e. a TCP-type PPP connection) does this follow the same philosophy. For example, just say I have the receiving machine setup to receive connections on port 2800... basically I am a little confused as to what goes on from here. In general, what I want to do is set aside the ports 3000 -> 3004 for dial-out and dial-in connections, and 3005 -> 3049 for tunneling connections. Now take the following scenario for example: say I have established 3 dial-in connections and 1 dial-out (i.e. ports 3000 -> 3003), then a tunnel comes through (on 2800; and hence, now 5 tun devices) then another dial-in connection comes in (hence, now 6 tun devices being used), does it get assigned to port 3005. Hope I've explained it in a manner that u can understand \=]. Thanks in advance, Mick.
