You probably won't have to change anything Your number should be assigned to you from your username and password when you log on. It will assign your static ip address to the port you'll log into do a netstat -rn when you log in . You'll see the route the default gateway has . That should be your static ip address. If you have to change anything in ppp.conf it would be the set ifaddress 111.111.111.111 222.222.222.222 255.255.255.0 111.111.111.111 being your ip address and 222.222.222.222 the gateway address of your isp Here is my ppp.conf file... <snip> set authname USERNAME HERE set authkey PASSWORD HERE set phone !!!!!!!! set timeout 0 set openmode active accept pap set ifaddr 208.146.12.123/0 208.146.12.64/0 255.255.255.0 delete ALL add 0 0 208.146.12.64 *** I still have the /0 after my ip and my isp's gateway addresses I'm new to all this stuff my terminology may not be correct. However, I believe this info is pretty accurate. Have fun O by the way make sure you have the newest ppp software downloadable from http://www.awfulhak.org/ppp.html Have fun /SD FreeBSD 2.2.6-STABLE #0: Sat Jun 27 15:11:12 EDT 1998 "If it's not one thing it's something else" > None.
