strange indeed, because the ip your interface has is not a real one (10.40.x.x in golden channel's case) therefor its not logical that this is the address other computers recognize you by. what you are saying may be correct only if you connect to a machine on the same network, i.e - a remote machine connected to the same cable company. in all other cases, you will be identified with your real ip. tal. > > > -- -----Original Message----- > -- From: Tzafrir Cohen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > -- Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 3:51 PM > -- To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- Subject: Re: [gnubies-il] The CABLES-DHCP-PPTP HOWTO > -- > -- > -- On Thu, 15 Aug 2002, Amir Tal wrote: > -- > -- > the cable companies in Israel changed the method users > -- are connecting to them > -- > from web-based authentication to pptp. > -- > i have written a HOWTO explaining how to connect with the > -- new setting. it can > -- > be found here : > -- > > -- > > -- http://whatsup.org.il/modules.php?name=Reviews&rop=showcontent&id=17 > -- > -- The cable companies? > -- > -- It is rather a specific ISP to which you through cables. > -- That specific ISP > -- (netvision) does not operate a cables network directly.
