The RAS(remote access server) server usually acts as a DHCP server,
handing out IP addresses to clients connecting over a dial up modem. That
is why, when you use dial-up, your IP address changes constantly.

On the RAS's side, all you would have to configure is the range of IP 
addresses that the clients are going to receive.
