I'm pretty sure IPCP (IP Configuration Protocol IIRC) is ppp's way of dealing with dynamic addressing; if you use that you don't need DHCP as well. I'm not sure about the other stuff that can be negotiated at dialup, such as DNS servers etc - I don't know whether IPCP does that, or whether you need DHCP for that. Richard
