For telecommuters and roamers who Dial-In, you have the option of allowing
PPP to assign the telecommuter (or PPP client) an IP address automatically or to
assign a particular IP address. The check boxes entitled “Use the default IP
address for Remote Computer” and “Use the following IP address for the Remote
Computer” allow the user to select between these two options. If “Use the default
IP address for Remote Computer” is checked (default), the remote computer will
be assigned the IP address of 192.168.2.5. If “Use the following IP address for the
Remote Computer” is checked, the IP address that is entered in the IP address
dialog box is assigned. Any IP address that is on a different subnet from the LAN
(default 192.168.1.1/224 subnet) is allowed. Normally, this parameter need not
be changed from the default.
