ARCHIVED: At IUB, how does the UITS PPP server assign IP addresses?

This content has been archived, and is no longer maintained by Indiana University. Information here may no longer be accurate, and links may no longer be available or reliable.

Important: On August 15, 2014, the IU Bloomington and IUPUI modem pools were retired. If you are affected by this retirement, you can find a new Internet service provider by searching online or in the yellow pages.

At Indiana University Bloomington, the PPP dial-in lines (812-856-520X) use the native PPP mechanism to assign your computer an appropriate IP address whenever you dial into the UITS PPP server. This is a dynamic process, and your IP number will likely change each time you connect.
