Atsushi, my peer accepts the valid IP. The negotiation works as it should. if a client provides an IP that is a hint to the provider that the client would "prefer" that address. The protocol provides the ability for the provider to refuse and offer an alternate. There are no rules about when the provider should refuse. The ppp program works just fine there is nothing wrong with it. This entire thread is about the 2 lines of code that translated 0.0.0.0 to 192.0.0.1 Those 2 line just happened to have caused some confusion. Not with the PPP protocol but with me (and apparently others) as to why it was in there. There is nothing wrong with my ppp link. I maintain a dedicated link with it which I am using now :-) This is why my log files are not important or at issue.
