PPP-connected machines receive a IP-address from the server. Usually this
IP-address is given dynamically - every time you log-in you get a new
address. These addresses are usually (but not nessesarely) have
DNS-entries of the form:
NUMBER.provider.address
The reason for "dynamic addresses" is IP-address shortage == IPO-addresses
are expensive. You can pick-up the new address in the ip-up script,
Unfortunately i have forgotten which variable holds the new ip-address. I
am afraid you will have to find it out yourself - simply add something
like:
echo $1 $2 $3 >/tmp/test
to ip-up script to find it out. Maybe the documentation of ppp has
something about it...
