Hi, I should probaly explain myself better :-) It's been a long day. I have a C class network. 203.1.96.0 to 255. All valid. Their addresses are: Their end. 139.130.78.1 My end: 139.130.78.12 My Server Ethernet IP = 203.1.96.5 The carrier wants me to set up my PPP link so that it has one of their addresses at their end, one of their addresses at my end, and I look after routing from my network to their network. So in effect on my FreeBSD box, the ppp link files contain both their addresses. If my machine is configured as a gateway, which it is, does that mean if I set up a route to their number which is at my end... from my Ethernet interface, then all will be well. But how do I do that, or is it automagic. I should pack it in for the day. Go have a glass of wine.
