Hello list, I have a question regarding IP in IP tunneling. The situation is the following: My employer has given me a static IP address in the LAN. However, since I am working at home and in need of a broadband connect, we want to go with T-DSL by the German company Telekom. The problem is, that the Telekom will terminate my DSL connection every 24 hours. I can dial in immediatelly afterwards, but since T-DSL hands out the IP addresses dynamically, I will have a new IP address, and the old one will no longer be valid.
So, I'm looking for the following solution. I dial in with the Telekom and get a dynamic IP address. I *somehow* [1] inform the router at work that I have a new IP address immediatelly afterwards. When the router at work receives a packet for my static LAN IP address, he wraps it in a packet with my dynamic DSL IP address and sends it away. The Telekom will send it to me, and I use something like NAT to get it on my home machine. And in the other direction I reverse the process. Long text, short question: Is something like this possible? I know, that the 2.2 kernel supports IP-in-IP, but I don't know, where to start reading. Also, has anybody done this already? Any idea, how [1] could be solved? TIA, Viktor -- Viktor Rosenfeld E-Mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] HertzSCHLAG: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/hs/
