I have 2 Debian 2.2 boxes, one setup as a server the other as a client. I have been able to get as far as PAP authentication. The problem is that the server does not seem to be able to identify it local IP address to the client. Here is my /etc/ppp/peers/server configuration file: ---- # These are the options to dial out to your default service provider. # Please customize them correctly. Only the "provider" file will be # handled by poff and pon (unless with extra command line arguments).

I performed a google search on this and many people seem to have the <addrs = 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x> problem but I have found no satisfactory answers. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Wayne
