I've asked that question before, but got no response to figured I must have asked a question which made no sense. So far as I can tell, the dynamic address support on the Pipeline is only for the Ethernet-connected hosts, where it's willing to assign DHCP addresses to hosts while running NAT. If I can dynamically assign an IP to an incoming call to a Pipeline 75, how should I setup the connection profile? The only section of the connection profile which looks remotely relevant is IP options, which are currently like: Ip options... LAN Adrs=208.155.20.86/30 WAN Alias=0.0.0.0 IF Adrs=0.0.0.0/0 Preference=60 Metric=1 DownPreference=120 DownMetric=7 Private=No RIP=Off Client Pri DNS=0.0.0.0 Client Sec DNS=0.0.0.0 Client Assign DNS=Yes Client Gateway=0.0.0.0 The calling Pipeline can only connect if it's My Adrs matches the above LAN Adrs. The manual hints, with "LAN Adrs... The default setting is 0.0.0.0/0; an answering Connection Profile with this setting matches all incoming IP addresses." Unfortunately, that seems to be exactly _opposite_ what I want - I don't want the calling Pipeline to provide it's address, I want the called Pipeline to provide the caller with an address.
