Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to get dial on demand working with a dynamic IP. I realise it would be difficult, and as far as I can tell you'd _need_ IP aliasing, but how I envisage it working would be as follows. Run an app that sends a packet(telnet, mail.. whatever)0 The PPP process dials up, and then gets the IP it's to use, and then aliases the packet according to that IP. Everything works like normal :) I think this would be possible with IJPPP but I'm not sure (you'd have to make sure the aliasing happens at the right time - ie after any dialup event). Is it worth a try? Is anyone alreay doing it? :) --------------- Daniel O'Connor 3rd Year Computer Science at Flinders University http://www.geocities.com.au/CapeCanaveral/7200
