Hi. I'm using the 2.2.18pre21 kernel that came with debian potato, and I can't get my network card to work fine.. I know it does because I used it under slackware a few years back.. I am using isapnp to probe the boards and then am using modprobe ne io=0x280 and it brings up the eth0 device.. I can set addresses etc.. but when I try to use it I get.. neighbour table overflow.. and no activity on the home lan.. what does this mean and what should be the next step.. I have a few more issues to work through too.. I compiled a custom kernel of 2.2.19 because this is basically an old ibm aptiva p133 24m ram 1.2 ghd.. I will try 2.4.x if I can't get an y results, but I want to do nat and I did not think that 2.4 had all of the nat modules. and besides I understand ipchains a little better than the symtax for iptables.. ------------------------- Patrick Turnage e-mail:pturnage at tampabay.rr.com Telephone: (850) 459-7717 HomePage: http://www.access-connect.com Amateur radio callsign:kg4dqk AOL Instant Messenger:kg4dqk icq:26862191 MSN:turnagep at hotmail.com Yahoo!:kg4dqk America Online:kg4dqk1129 kg4dqk1129 at aol.com
