- I seem to remember having the same problem, back when I initially set up
- AmiTCP/PPP. I created the ENVARC:ppp0IPLocal file, which is nothing more than
- the IP address assigned to your computer. If you have a static IP setup, as I
- used to, just create the file in envarc: with your assigned static IP address.
- If you are using dynamic PPP (where the ip address is different each time
- you call), then the file ppp0IPLocal isn't even necessary, and you can delete
- the lines referring to it from your startnet script.
-
- Here's my startppp script (remember, dynamic PPP):
-
- amitcp:bin/online devs:networks/ppp.device 0
- Amitcp:Bin/PPPConfigAmiTCP 0
- run < NIL: >NIL: amitcp:amitcp
- sys:rexxc/waitforport AMITCP
- execute t:AmiTCP.tmp
- Assign TCP: Exists >NIL:
- if Warn
- Mount TCP: from AmiTCP:devs/Inet-mountlist
- Endif
- ;amitcp:bin/synclock alaska.net SAVE
-
- When "Amitcp:Bin/PPPConfigAmiTCP 0" is run, two ppp.device will negotiate with
- the ISP to determine what IP address is assigned to your computer for that
- session.
-
- That should be all you need to get ppp up and running, so long as everything
- else in amitcp:db is configured properly ;^0.
