As long as you use this IP address for outgoing connections (ssh, telnet, ...) you're stuck when the connection times out: you can't tell either side that you're address has changed. Of course, your machine should notice it, but what do you expect for the other side? It would be real security problem if you really try to tell some telnet session that the IP address of one side has changed :-) OTOH, if you have some address range routed from your machine to somewhere behind the MAX (like an internal overlay network based on 192.168.*) you could try to open outgoing connections with these addresses and do dynamic routing (based on some routing protocol), but this depends on what you are really going to do. BTW, you told us you have an Ascend MAX on the other side. Does this one have some address pool for assigning dynamic addresses (I would expect so)? You could increase the starting address of this pool once and use the now more or less unused first IP address as a static one for your machine, this will cause much less pain. In my case, when I'm using some Internet-by-call provider, I have to run something during the session that holds it open, like a ping to some host in the provider's network so that neither one side of the connection ever closes due to timeout. This also kills my girl-friends IRC sessions. If I'm totally wrong, tell me a solution, please :-) Regards, Martin -- /| /| | /| / ,,You know, there's a lot of opportunities, / |/ | artin |/ |/ elk if you're knowing to take them, you know, there's a lot of opportunities, Freiberg/Saxony, Germany if there aren't you can make them, mw@sax.de / mw@theatre.sax.de make or break them!''
