Very Computer

If this is a dumb question my apologies to the group and I will keep
searching for the answer.

Thanks in advance for the help!

: I'm a networking newbie.  I have finally received a "Static IP Address" from
: a local ISP Service Provider and I want to convert my dynamic IP assigned
: number to the static address from the local ISP.  The problem is my linux
: box, "server", on my home LAN is set up to use Dynamic IP addresses with my
: current ISP.  I am using IP Masquerade and ipfwadm firewall on the linux
: server.  The win95 machines connect to the WWW through the linux box just
: fine with my current setup BUT, I can't get it to work with the new static
: IP #.  If someone can help me or point me to a specific HOWTO on setting up
: a dialup ppp connection with a static IP address I would appreciate it very
: much.

It should be as simple as adding <YourStaticIP:> as a pppd option.

As always "man pppd" should provide details and insight.
