hey, just read the pppHOW-TO and have some questions: first let me explain what i think i'm trying to do......... i would like to set my linux (SuSE5.3) box at home up as a ppp server so i can dial-in from work on the windows95 box. basically i have ppp currently set up for dial-up to my isp only using the isp's dns server. from the how-to i get the impression i need to set up a dns server on my linux box, so i installed bind8 from the cd -but i don't know if it is running, does it need a unique ip address of it's own or would i use one for both the host and the dns server? needless to say i'm a network newbie........ i had created a options.ttys1 per the example in the how-to.....there is a line in it "lock" which kills my outbound, (i.e. dial-up from the linux box) connection. help and pointers to examples would be greatly appreciated. tia, don - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
