Hi all,
I've been searching the forum for a definitive statement on one particular aspect of DSL / PPPOA bridging but I've lucked out so far. As follows:
I want to use a DSL modem in bridge mode so that my external NIC Eth1 picks up the public IP number issued by my ISP. (Even though my public IP is technically static, I believe it's actually a DHCP reservation within a pool of dynamic public IPs) The upshot of this is that I need to make Eth1's IP number dynamically assigned in the interface definition.
I've tried to get this working but without success so far - the embedded help files seem to insist that you state the IP number of both Eth1 and the next device it will be talking to.
I'm clearly missing something obvious here - can anyone direct me?
Many thanks,
