Hello, I am trying to use the static IP patch for PPP which is included with Debian 2.2.
My setup is as following. 2 Stallion Serial Cards connected to a total of 16 modems. In general I want to provide dynamic IP's, so each modem has an options.ttyE? file containing something like: 203.11.22.33:192.168.4.1 where the second IP is different for each modem. I have a few 'special' customers who need static IPs. I don't use the login option for pppd instead I specify all the users and passwords in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets For the static IP customers i have an entry like joe servername passwd 203.11.22.40 * as explained in the file /usr/doc/ppp/README.STATIC-IP For normal customers i have an entry like bob servername passwd * I have enabled the proxyarp option. Following the debug output from PPP it seems that the client requests the 203.11.22.40 IP address but the server wont accept it. It keeps telling the client to accept 192.168.4.1 The connection is established but no data is transmitted. If I enable the ipcp-accept-remote option it works, however it seems that any user can request an IP address that they want - so it is not restricted to the 'special' customer or to the IP address specified in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets I would appreciate any help in solving this problem. Iain.
