PPP Options (continued)
Local IP Address
The IP address for each PPP network is usually edited in the network's IP address
definition which you access by selecting the Edit: IP Address radio button on the Networks
property page. For convenience, the network IP address can also be edited using this PPP
Options Dialog.
PPP allows the local IP address to be negotiated with the network's peer.
If the local IP address is 0.0.0.0, then the local IP address must be negotiated with the
peer. In this case, the peer must provide the local IP address if the network is to be
operable.
If a local IP address is provided, then no negotiation of the local IP address will be
permitted. The IP address which you defined will be used as the local IP address.
Remote IP Address
The IP address of the PPP network's peer is usually edited in the network's IP address
definition which you access by selecting the Edit: IP Address radio button on the Networks
property page. For convenience, the remote IP address can also be edited using this PPP
Options Dialog.
PPP allows the IP address of the network's peer to be negotiated with the peer, if
permitted by the peer. If no such negotiation is required, set the remote IP address to
0.0.0.0 in the space provided.
If a remote IP address is provided, it will be presented for acceptance by the peer if, and
only if, the peer requests that it be provided with an IP address. If the peer rejects the
proposal, the IP address of the peer will be as defined by the peer. In this case, if the peer
does not have an alternative IP address, the network will be inoperable.
If the peer asks to negotiate its IP address and the defined remote IP address is 0.0.0.0,
then the defined local IP address plus one will be proposed for use by the peer, provided
that the defined local IP address is not 0.0.0.0.
DNS Server IP Addresses
KwikNet can send the IP address of one or two DNS servers to the network's peer for use
by that peer. You can enter the primary and/or secondary DNS server IP address in the
space provided. An IP address of 0.0.0.0 will not be presented to the peer during DNS
negotiation.
