I am currently using FreeBSD 2.2.5 If your using kernel-level pppd for your dialup users, pppd will allow you to manually set the IP they get (at your end) by using something along the lines of: pppd [other arguments..] 123.123.123.1:123.123.123.10 Where 123.123.123.1 is the address of your dial-in gateway server, and 10 is the address the user will get. You can do this automatically using the secrets file as well. Try a man pppd ;^) L8rz KrOnUs
