OK...with all that said, try this...it's a pretty simple procedure, and it works: In this user's Radius profile, set Ascend-PPP-Address to, say, 10.1.55.1 (that's it for the server side) Now, on the P50 (with software version 4.6C or higher)... Under configure... set the "Rem Addr" to 10.1.55.1/30 Ethernet-->Connections--> (connection name) --> IP options set the "IF Adrs" to 10.1.55.2/30 set Private=YES === Steven Guerin <<A HREF="mailto:sguerin@staff.communique.net">mailto:sguerin@staff.communique.net</A>> Communiqué Technical Operations > -----Original Message----- > From: Jesse Martinez [SMTP:jmartine@ecis.com] > Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 1997 11:17 AM > To: Julian Cowley > Cc: Daniel Wesemann; ascend-users@bungi.com > Subject: Re: (ASCEND) Q: arp problem with p50 > > I spoke to the customer and it is not the single-user version.
