[pptp-server] Poptop w/ static IP.

Oops yeah sorry, I'm used to using * as a workstation..

Another thing you can do is register the machine on a WINS server if there's
one available. This way you can ping/telnet/map the machine on the PPTP
tunnel by name as it registers itself to the WINS server and that way you
don't need to know the IP address. I think samba can work as a WINS server
but I don't know how to configure it.

thanks,

Maybe you could try;
username	hostname	password	ip

E.G.
jcoco		wkstn-1	secret	xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

That SHOULD work....

How did you do it?

Did you leave out the remote IPs in the /etc/pptpd.conf and place a * in
place of the IP in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets eg.

georgev	*	password *

this will give the server no choice but allow the remote machine to
assign
itself it's own IP.. Maybe even add ipcp-accept-remote in the
/etc/ppp/options.pptpd file..

should work coz I did get it working..

Anyone have any idea how to get poptop/pppd to give out static IP's
based
on hostname??

I tried having the remote end assign the IP, but the poptop server will
either give out a dynamic IP, or make one up..
