When I logged into the NT gateway, I used to get: > Aug 18 22:23:59 fud pppd[1249]: sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 <addr 192.168.11.13> ><compress VJ 0f 01>] > Aug 18 22:23:59 fud pppd[1249]: rcvd [IPCP ConfNak id=0x1 <addr 129.214.35.131>] So the correct address (129.214.35.131) was assigned to my ppp interface. 192.168.11.13 is the address on my home ethernet. Starting this morning, I started to get: > Feb 14 12:22:05 fud pppd[4957]: sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 <addr 192.168.11.13> ><compress VJ 0f 01> <ms-dns1 0.0.0.0> <ms-dns3 0.0.0.0>] > Feb 14 12:22:05 fud pppd[4957]: rcvd [IPCP ConfNak id=0x1 <ms-dns1 129.214.251.140> ><ms-dns3 129.214.251.141>] > Feb 14 12:22:05 fud pppd[4957]: sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x2 <addr 192.168.11.13> ><compress VJ 0f 01> <ms-dns1 129.214.251.140> <ms-dns3 129.214.251.141>] > Feb 14 12:22:06 fud pppd[4957]: rcvd [IPCP ConfAck id=0x2 <addr 192.168.11.13> ><compress VJ 0f 01> <ms-dns1 129.214.251.140> <ms-dns3 129.214.251.141>] This doesn't work, at least because of routing issues. How do I get pppd not to insist on the local IP? For the time being, I am unconfiguring the ethernet and commenting the line out of /etc/hosts, but this isn't viable in the long term...
