Right. There are no rules about when the provider should refuse.
I guess my explanation by English too much funny for you. But I
will try to explain it.
Why your provider ppp is requestd for giving a new address
by only "0.0.0.0" ? - No matter what address passing to
your provider, they should give you new address if they
can't accepted.
: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
As I mentioned previous mail as "historical reason", NetBlazer
(I don't have model name and firmware verison is old or current
one) could accept "0.0.0.0" as real ip address without proposing
a new valid address. So they choose "192.0.0.1" for temporary
address for starting a negotiation when set up "ifaddr 0 0".
: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.
Please give me it for make a plan for every things going right.
(Please don't say I couldn't make *negotiation* unless "0.0.0.0";-)

Atsushi.
P.S. I am going to get out down town of tokyo now. But I will
make a response whenever get back.(Hoply within same day;-)
