At boot time the PortMaster allocates a pool of addresses starting at
the Assigned Address (set from the global menu or via "set assigned")
and counting up. The total number of addresses is equal to the number
of ports where Network Dialin is configured. If someone dials in and
requests an unused address from the pool, that is assigned; if somone
dials in and requests any address, the next address from the pool is
assigned, if someone disconnects, their address is placed at the END of
the pool for re-use.
If you're getting assigned addresses of 0.0.0.0, FIRST check
your /etc/raddb/users file to make sure you're saying
Framed-Address = 255.255.255.254,
And NOT
Framed-Address = Assigned,
Since the latter does a DNS lookup on a host named "Assigned", which
returns 0, which gets sent as the address. :-)
If that's not it, upgrade to ComOS 3.1.4.
If you have problems after that, contact Livingston Technical Support
at support@livingston.com or 800-458-9966 or +1 510-426-0770 AND ALWAYS
INCLUDE YOUR COMOS VERSION NUMBER IN THE PROBLEM REPORT.
