Need help obtaining dynamic local IP Address using PPP

Need help obtaining dynamic local IP Address using PPP

Post by jyu.. » Tue, 02 Jul 1996 04:00:00



Hi

I need help. Just installed linux 1.2.13 from slackware distribution disks. I'm
using DIP to dial my service provider who provides a PPP connection and a
dynamic local IP address.

I've configured it with 0.0.0.0 and when it makes the connection I want to
the real local IP address and set it. My problem is that my ISP doesn't display
the address after logging in.

I am able to use Netscape, ircII, etc configured this way but at times
transmissions stall and I'm assuming this to be the problem.

I've also tried PPP with the same results.

Anyone out there have any suggestions?

I suggest you get the latest PPP software (2.2.0f ??) from, say,
sunsite.unc.edu, and take a look at it. The documentation is quite
good (at least it was good enough to get a newbie as myself on the
'net using linux). Installing it requires a bit of nerve as it means
recompiling the kernel, but even a Linux-newbie should do this sooner
or later, IMHO.

1. Anyone using Mobile-IP combined with PPP and dynamic IP address ?

Has anyone tried to use Mobile-IP combined with PPP and dynamic IP
address ?
(maybe it's not possible at all)

I would like to integrate my Linux Workstation at home, connected via
PPP
and dynamic IP address to the internet, into the Linux network at work.
The network at work consists of a server with a register domaine name
and two
eth interfaces, one for the outside, and one for a local network.
IP-masquerade
is used to allow local workstations the internet access.  I would like
to see my workstation at home as one of these local workstations, if it
is
online.

I tried something with tunl0 interface (as described in NET-3-HOWTO),
but
i had no success.

Is there any way to do this ?

Thanks for any help!
