Hi, I have just got my modems over the weekend and brought it to my service provider, and get it hooked up to an Annex's router port. While talking to the guy there, he said the router's port is assigned to the address 203.13.47.32, and he said that it is a 'shared' IP address which I will have to set on my side as well. This sounds a bit confusing to me as I haven't played around much with router, and let alone this concept of 'shared' IP address. So, I tried out (on a 1.1.5.1 box used ay my side's router) : 1) kermit to dial up his side and once connected back out to the shell 2) slattach -a -h -s 38400 /dev/tty00 3) ifconfig sl0 inet up 203.13.47.32 203.13.47.32 netmask 255.255.255.0 4) route add default 203.13.47.32 I proceed to do lots of ping (on the same box) but they never get back, then I talk to him again, and was told do leave the destination IP address out, so I tried : 1) ifconfig sl0 inet up 203.13.47.32 netmask 255.255.255.0 and ping again, but still don't get anything back. And I though I remembered the wrong thing so I rang him up again to verify I am using my router's serial port (/dev/tty00) IP as 203.13.47.32. a 'shared' address, and what I need to do is to specify it as my sl0 IP. I am really lost here, since he said it's not a point to point link, and it's not a SLIP link, so what am I supposed to do to get my box talking to his Annex if I am not running slattach or ppp ? Can anyone with Annex experience set up in this way please offer some help ? Thanks in advance.
