Re: pppoe

[Curtis Vaughan <curtis@npc-usa.com>]

In brief, WHAT?

Are you saying that I should set up a virtual interface? e.g., ppp0:0 ?

If so, let's say the first IP address in the block is 128.12.13.137. 
ppp0 has this address and a netmask of 255.255.255.255.
Should I set ppp0:0 to the same IP address? Doubtful.
I did try setting ppp0:0 to the next IP address in the block, but it 
didn't seem to work.  I could, of course, try again.

Thanks for any additional input.
