Hi! I am not able to set up my Linux box as a ppp server (just one ppp line). It looks like pppd is assigning it's IP address to the client.
The server's IP address is 147.83.61.27, and the clients' should be 147.83.61.201 Here are the logs for the server: ===ppp.log=== Oct 28 00:28:35 bbs pppd[2782]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0 Oct 28 00:28:35 bbs pppd[2782]: Using interface ppp0 Oct 28 00:28:35 bbs pppd[2782]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS2 Oct 28 00:28:35 bbs pppd[2782]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <mru 1500> <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0x4e574173> <pcomp> <accomp>] Oct 28 00:28:35 bbs pppd[2782]: rcvd [LCP ConfAck id=0x1 <mru 1500> <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0x4e574173> <pcomp> <accomp>] Oct 28 00:28:37 bbs pppd[2782]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <mru 1500> <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0xfbf5f252> <pcomp> <accomp>] Oct 28 00:28:37 bbs pppd[2782]: sent [LCP ConfAck id=0x1 <mru 1500> <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0xfbf5f252> <pcomp> <accomp>] Oct 28 00:28:37 bbs pppd[2782]: sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 <addr 147..83.61.201> <compress VJ 0f 01>] Oct 28 00:28:37 bbs pppd[2782]: rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 <addr 0.0.0.0> <compress VJ 0f 01>] Oct 28 00:28:37 bbs pppd[2782]: sent [IPCP ConfNak id=0x1 <addr 147.83.61.27>] Oct 28 00:28:37 bbs pppd[2782]: rcvd [IPCP ConfAck id=0x1 <addr 147.83.61.201> <compress VJ 0f 01>] Oct 28 00:28:37 bbs pppd[2782]: rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x2 <addr 147.83.61.27> <compress VJ 0f 01>] Oct 28 00:28:37 bbs pppd[2782]: sent [IPCP ConfAck id=0x2 <addr 147.83.61.27> <compress VJ 0f 01>] Oct 28 00:28:37 bbs pppd[2782]: local IP address 147.83.61.201 Oct 28 00:28:37 bbs pppd[2782]: remote IP address 147.83.61.27 Oct 28 00:28:37 bbs pppd[2782]: found interface eth0 for proxy arp Oct 28 00:29:05 bbs pppd[2782]: rcvd [LCP EchoReq id=0x0 fb f5 f2 52] Oct 28 00:29:05 bbs pppd[2782]: sent [LCP EchoRep id=0x0 4e 57 41 73] Oct 28 00:29:21 bbs pppd[2782]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x0 4e 57 41 73] Oct 28 00:29:21 bbs pppd[2782]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0x0 fb f5 f2 52] Oct 28 00:29:35 bbs pppd[2782]: rcvd [LCP EchoReq id=0x1 fb f5 f2 52] Oct 28 00:29:35 bbs pppd[2782]: sent [LCP EchoRep id=0x1 4e 57 41 73] Oct 28 00:29:51 bbs pppd[2782]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x1 4e 57 41 73] Oct 28 00:29:51 bbs pppd[2782]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0x1 fb f5 f2 52] Oct 28 00:30:05 bbs pppd[2782]: rcvd [LCP EchoReq id=0x2 fb f5 f2 52] Oct 28 00:30:05 bbs pppd[2782]: sent [LCP EchoRep id=0x2 4e 57 41 73] Oct 28 00:30:13 bbs pppd[2782]: rcvd [LCP TermReq id=0x2] Oct 28 00:30:13 bbs pppd[2782]: LCP terminated at peer's request Oct 28 00:30:13 bbs pppd[2782]: sent [LCP TermAck id=0x2] Oct 28 00:30:16 bbs pppd[2782]: Connection terminated.

Nothing else does. Many thanks in advance for your help!
