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..
thanks,

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..
