Although I'm not the original poster I'ld like to know what you're/were working on since I'll perhaps need something like this in the near future too.
I have not looked into the subject yet so I do not know excatly what I want but I think it's this:
Status: beeing on a private lan with a private IP and having a box doing masquerading to the inet.
I want: a 'real' IP i.e. so I can ssh, etc. into my box from everywhere (port forwarding is not an option since I have no control over the masq box)
I need (I think): A peer for my ppp connection which can serve me a dyn IP (no prob I hope). The ppp would go over IP through the masq box.
Is there something special about this setup that would need your pre-hack in any way or can this be done using standard tools (i.e. pppd alone or such).
Feel free to reply with RTFM since I haven't done so yet. Your mail was just a good oportunity to get into it.
TIA
