Hi all, I have an interesting problem for the scripting wizards about the listserv. Telstra in Australia has implemented ADSL and I am a customer (my school) I got pppoe working no sweat. BUT the ISP can allocate randomaly an IP from 144..... or 61... address spaces They have an admitted issue routing 144 addresses & if my gateway gets one the schools net access drops out (telstra drops the connection about every 24 hrs. This is a pain in the butt! Q.. How can I have something a script etc fire after a dialin has occurred to check the ip and redial until a 61.9... address is allocated? TRICKY? I would have no idea where to start because I come from a windows background (coding etc) but I am a convert to FBSD it is very cool.
