Well, it is like this:
---begin fragment of DIALERUP.BAT, where IP-UP.BAT is an output of LSPPP.EXE---
call IP-UP.bat
echo my_ip=%MYIP% > path.cfg
echo gateway=%remip% >> path.cfg
echo netmask=%netmask% >> path.cfg
echo nameserver=204.111.1.35 >> path.cfg
echo nameserver=204.111.1.36 >> path.cfg
echo Ip address set to %MYIP%
---end fragment of DIALERUP.BAT-----------------------------------------------
The routine shown above is very commonly used in dialup batch files used
to connect to the internet with EPPPD.EXE and with LSPPP.EXE. This works
very reliably, and you can depend on it to get you to wherever you want to
go today. Just substitute for the nameserver values whatever the DNS
numbers of your own ISP.
