it means you need to setup your ppp dialer ( /etc/ppp/ppp-on )
to use dynamic ip instead of static...
- save a copy and edit ppp-on for this ISP connection ( ppp-on.isp )
- change the IP# to 0.0.0.0 for their ip# and for your ip#...
- when you dial their ppp server, with your login and passswd
it will assign you an dynamic ip#... ( different one each time ? )
- if they are running dhcp...that's another twist to the puzzle..
but it simplifies the dns/gw issues...
- you need to configure your files to show a fixed
dns server...and their gateway... ( they can tell you that )
for more info:
/usr/doc/ppp-2.x.y/scripts
have fun
