Linda,
Why don't you try this. It works for me on eth0, so it ought to work
for ppp0 also. I tested it in a script. Be extra careful to get the
forward and backward quote marks right.
KETH0=`ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr' | sed 's/^.*inet addr://;s/
.*$//'`
echo "KETH0=$KETH0"

Linda,
I have written this comment in my ip-up.local:
# ip-up.local
#Parameters:
# $1 = INTERFACE
# $2 = DEVICE
# $3 = SPEED
# $4 = LOCAL_IP (As given by ISP)
# $5 = REMOTE_IP (of ISP)
The ip-up.local will already have the two IP addresses in $4 and $5.
Just us

Not to sway you from building the firewall yourself but
have you looked at the graphical firewall configurator at:
http://firestarter.sourceforge.net/
It requires gnome either 1.0 or 1.2. May sure you select
the proper one and it allows an easy to configure firewall
via graphical interfa
