  13. On or about 28-Jan-96 12:28:54 Howard Walton typed the following words about
  14. "PPP problems".  My reply is thus...

  16.  
  17.  HW> I am switching from SLIP to PPP. Prior to the switch, AmiTCP ran fine.
  18.  HW> Now I am encountering problems on initial startup of AmiTCP.
  19.  
  20.  HW> I receive the following error messages when I start the program:
  21.  
  22.  HW> $ppp0iplocal: bad value
  23.  HW> $ppp0ipremote: bad value
  24.  
  25.  HW> Does anyone have any idea what this is?
  26.  HW> Any help is appreciated.
  27.  
  28. Do you have a dynamically assigned IP address? Those two variables hold the IP
  29. addresses assigned by your ISP when you connect. If you have a dynamically
  30. assigned IP address you should have 0.0.0.0 in your ppp0.config. Otherwise,
  31. you should have the static IP address assigned by your ISP in ppp0.config.
