Reply-to: anthony.s.magner@cpmx.saic.com Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.23) Message-ID: <2F012681CDF@BlueRidge-EF.SAIC.COM> Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Hi. Trying to setup SLIP here... Q1: Does the local-addr of the SLIP interface need to be different than the IP assigned to the real NIC which will route for us? e.g. My real NIC is 198.151.14.6 I want the clients to use 198.151.14.22 (only one dialin) Can I put ...14.6 as the local in slip.hosts? Q2: Is PPP easier to setup than this? NOTE: I've setup SLIP in KA9Q and there was no local-addr for the interface - just the addr of the NIC. -- Tony Magner -- anthony.s.magner@cpmx.saic.com
