Is it possible to set up a multi-protocol router to allow me to dial-in from a Macintosh with MacPPP or a PC with a dial-up package?
A. Yes. This also works for single protocol routers. Use CompatiView: Set the “Optional Remote End Node Information” on the TCP/IP configuration screen for the applicable WAN port to an unused IP address on your local (Ethernet) IP network. Use this IP address in the MacPPP configuration when you dial in. For the PC, set the host to pick up an IP address dynamically from a server. Use Command Line: • Router Code 3.x.x and earlier int wan x (where x is the applicable WAN port) set ip wan remote a.b.c.d (where a.b.c.d is the unused address on your LAN) • Router Code 4.x.x and later config IP wan x (where x is the applicable WAN port) remote address = a.b.c.d (where a.b.c.d is the unused address on your LAN) Q. I have a Linux box configured to accept dial-in connections that run PPP. My system automatically assigns IP addresses to the caller dependent upon which modem in the pool they access. The modem re-dials regardless of whether there is IP activity or not on the LAN, and when it does
