Re: (newbie) Need help on Static IP

["Marc Mongeon" <Mongeon@bankoe.com>]

You're talking about giving an IP address to somebody dialing in,
right?  If you want to make sure that a person always gets the same
IP address, do this:

1.  Set up a normal system account for the person (adduser <name>).
2.  If you're authenticating with PAP, add this to /etc/ppp/pap-secrets:
     <name>     <servername>     ""     *
     (see 'man pppd' for details on the format)
3.  Make sure you call pppd with the "login" option (are you using mgetty?)
4.  Put this line in $HOME/.ppprc for the user:
     <local-ip>:<remote-ip>

If I understood you correctly, then that should do it.  Where I used the
"<...>" notation, you should of course substitute real parameters.

I use pppconfig to set up ppp connections.  In most cases you can treat a
static IP just like you would a dynamic IP.
