Hi, I have a now 'slightly-aging' (OK, I prefer 'mature') 2.2.2 system running the stock FreeBSD pppd. In my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf I have listed all the options I need. In addition to this I have files in /etc/ppp such as: options.ttyd0 options.ttyd1 etc. These assign the addresses used for my dialin modem pool... I now have a customer who wants/needs a static address, so I've put a '.ppprc' file in their home directory which simply says: " :195.188.177.129 " I thought this would give that 1 user a static address (following the 'flow' of Config files checked in the man page) but it doesn't appear to work... The system connecting to it is another FreeBSD box, the server doesn't offer the client the .129 address, and if the client asks for the .129 address it gets refused... Am I able to set things up this way? (The thought 'almost too good to be true' springs to mind re. using just 'simple' config files) Thanks for any help, Regards, Karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
