When I connect using kppp to my ISP they assigns an IP address for my machine how does this affect the Network? As you can guess I'm not really a 'network guy' so any help would be appreciated in most simple terms! (Also I'm trying to setup the following system any help much appreciated!!!!!) 1 server acting as file/print/fax server 4 workstations probably win95/nt connected to server (2/3 dial in accounts.... i.e people from home can dial in and use services.) Some sort of fax system to scan documents/print to fax probably hylafax but needs win clients. Network printing. any suggestions on best configuration. also... Is there any support for Infra-red under Linux... ? if so please give a blow by blow account! finally I have Suse on my Libretto when I put the machine into standby and later restart the machine either hangs or I basically cannot restart Kde until I reboot is this normal, are there any work arounds? Thanks for being so patient!

Is this possible for a dial-up modem ? If so how.....
Yes, this is also possible with a modem. Just use "diald" for the automatic dialin.
