Ok, in a nutshell this is my problem:
I used to run RH6.2 and under while running it i added the line "ifconfig
ppp0 | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]" to the /etc/ppp/ip-up.local script then would
leave my computer connected to the internet while i was at work or away or
whatever. Anytime my PPP connection got dropped for whatever reason RH6.2 would
try to reconnect and when it did it would email me the new IP address assigned
via DHCP by my ISP to my email account. Then i could log in from where ever i
was at that time and download files i might need etc. When i installed Mandrake
7.0 I set up my PPP connection by going through
DrakeConf--->Network Configuration--->PPP/SLIP/PLIP--->Add
and just filled in the blanks. I have it set up to connect at boot time and to
automatically attempt to reconnect. The connection and all works great, my
problem is that i cannot find where i need to add that line from above so
that it will email me my new IP address every time it connects.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated,
