Hi Didi,
thanks - I have read thru the RFCs, but I must admit was trying to hack
some code to get it going quickly. The thing is that when I do an
ethereal trace off a setup on my PC the server _offers_ its IP address
after authentication and then the PC negotiates for its IP by
requesting '0.0.0.0'. In my implementation I don't get the intial
offer. Also, because I'm on a private APN I should be getting a
specific IP, but I actually get some othe IP - as if I haven't logged
in properly. I suppose that is a major clue!

Regards - Rocky
