There are some projects around, Mobile IP and Transparent Mobile IP (see also http://www.cs.hut.fi/Research/Dynamics/) which I haven't got a close look at. I tried something on my laptop, can't remember what it's called (5:50 am and I need some sleep) and it worked fine, but I took it off as the DHCP server on my network is not the gateway and it was setting up the default gateway and /etc/resolv.conf for the laptop to point to itself, so I was having to alter the settings like you have to in order to connect out from the home LAN, but it was great on the office LAN. I shall try looking for it later on freshmeat to see if I can find it. Regards Sid. Matt T. wrote:
Hello!
My notebook needs to get connected to the Internet via an ADSL router when I'm in the office. No problem, I just set up the default gateway to the router's IP and it works.
However when I travel I use an Internet dial up connection (kinternet or kppp). But that does not work when the default gateway is still set to the router's IP in the office.
So I have to take out the default gateway every time I use dial up connections, and reenter it when I use the router. And while I'm at it, it is probably a good idea to do the same for the DNS entries required by the ADSL connection.
How can I configure kppp or kinternet (using Suse 8.2) to do that automatically for me?
Thanks, Matt
