I guss you want specify ip address of your side/ both of them !? If so, I will show you my-home and my-office user-mode ppp setup as follows... ... for my side... set ifaddr 202.32.13.200/24 202.32.13.1/24 add 0 255.255.255.0 202.32.13.1 ... for office set ifaddr 202.32.13.1/24 202.32.13.200/24 > In both instances, the user-mode ppp apparently decides that it can't > confirm the address used by the other end and drops the connection on the > floor. In contrast, "pppd -ip .." works every time, Please remember. The ppp protocol has no difference between out(client)/in(server) for handshaking. Another words, it's negotiation base on same stands. So if you wan't specifiy (forcely setup) peer ip address, a peer needs to accept your offer! (i.e set ifaddr 0 202.32.13.200/24). It's same syntax of pppd, don't it? > michael Atsushi. -- Atsushi Murai Internet: amurai@spec.co.jp System Planning and Engineering Co,.Ltd. Voice : +81-33833-5341
