I am running pppd on uClinux on an Analog Devices processor platform to connect to the internet via a GPRS modem.

In my ppp options file, I have the following options among others

defaultroute
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote

so that the IP and routing are done by the ppp daemon.

After the IP is assigned to my system, running 'ifconfig ppp0' gives

ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:117.97.149.105 P-t-P:117.97.149.105 Mask: 255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:10 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:3


and running 'route' gives

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
117.97.149.105 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
172.16.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 117.97.149.105 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0

Is it possible for the remote-IP (or the gateway IP) as assigned by the ISP to be same as the local IP assigned to the system?

Regards,
Aparna
