In a dialin network the pcs get a dynamicly assigned ip-address.
in that lan the dial-in users want to access some hosts via telnet, ftp
and so on.
this is only allowed, when it is certain, that user1 has ip-address1,
user2 has ip-address2 ...

Is it possible to set up ip-masquerading or the tis firewall toolkit to
give a certain user a
fix ip-address?

Thanks

The masquerading dialin unit will have the dynamic address assigned to it.
All the masqeraded units will have fixed inhouse addresses but will not be
normally accessible from the net. From outside they appear to have the
same address as the dialin unit . If an outside unit initiates a connect to a
masqueraded machine, it goes to the dialin unit instead. Therefore, the
outside unit would not be able to directly access the masqueraded unit by
IP addr alone.
