Let me get this straight: you used this form: username hostname "" * And the client specified its own IP address, but it didn't work? Try using ipcp-accept-local or ipcp-accept-remote options, and read /usr/doc/ppp/README.STATIC-IP... I guess that could work. I remember seeing a very similar problem once... I also remember fixing it by typing the password in the pap-secrets :) > This server is running 2.3.11-1.3; I have another server running > 2.3.11-1.1 which is working just fine. No changes to pppd itself have been made between those two versions, just packaging changes. -- enJoy -*/\*- don't even try to pronounce my first name
