I'd like to hear any suggestions, too. The best I can see is this: If you're using ppp it's most likely dial-in. If you assign an IP address to each port, then whatever port your user dials into gets the IP assigned to the port. The only other experience I've had with this is IBM's ppp which assigns a number out of a pool, but the net effect seems the same. The only advantage to this is when you have several phone lines on a rotary. If you have a DHCP situation, I'm as mystified as you. -- Jay On Tue, 11 Feb 1997, Zgebura Stefan wrote: ->I am looking for some advice or documentation about the configuration ->PPP server and Dynamic IP adress.
