I'm hoping someone has an elegant solution to this:
I (and several others in my company) need to hook up our laptops via
ethernet when we're in the office, and dialup from home.
Our internal net is on a different subnet from our modem bank.
We use dynamic PPP.
The only way our IS guys have been able to make this work is to run .reg
files that do this:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\NetTrans\0003]
"IPAddress"="0.0.0.0"
"IPMask"="0.0.0.0"
to switch to dialup, and the same thing with real IP's for local ethernet.
The problem as I understand it is that when we're set up for the office,
with the IP's entered for our local net, it's cool, but when that same
config is used over dialup, win95 still uses those IP's, instead of using
the IP the PPP server gives them.
The result is that it appears to work, but we can't ping anywhere :)
I figure other people must have run into this?
