Re: [Leaf-user] Using pppoe

Really depends on your ISP on how long your alowed to keep a leased IP.
For example my ISP (Pacific Bell, Monterey PacBell district, California)
doesnt change my IP address unless I reboot my router and even then I have a
50-50 chance of receiving the same IP address as before, but I know of other
ISP's (mostly European it seams) forceably change your IP address every few
hours (I had the same IP once for 3 months and the only reason it changed
was because the entire house lost power).
Dachstein and EigerSteinBETA2 PPPoE v.0.4 both support non-demand dial PPPoE
so you should be able to keep a fairly static IP address, providing you dont
have a over agressive ISP.

Subject: [Leaf-user] Using pppoe


 I have had cable access (using DHCP) for a year and
 my IP address has changed only once.  This is very
 convenient, considering I often access my home network
 from a RW.  I don't need DNS to resolve the address, I
 hard code it.

 I now have to use ADSL access using PPPoE and dynamic
 address.  My question is: are PPPoE addresses as stable?

 Is there the equivalent of a lease.  Is there a trick
 I can use to keep the address (e.g. ping some address
 once a minute)?  Is there another way that I can tolerate
 changing addresses by reresolving the address (dynamic
 DNS???).

 TIA

Hi,
I use dyndns.org
http://www.dyndns.org/

and ez-ipupdate
project
http://www.gusnet.cx/proj/ez-ipupdate/

leaf package
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/sboulter

because here in Belgium, ip addresses are very volatile ( at least
ADSL/PPPOE )
regards,
Etienne
