While I haven't solved my own problems with tulip(only work at 100Mbps) the instructions above translate to: Get linux.2.x.y.tar.bz2. One method is from kernel.org (as is sugested above - a vanilla kernel). Another is from your Woody disks to do 'apt-get install kernel-source 2.4.18'. I'd advise against this due to a) being old b) having at least 3 local root expliots. Once you've got it do the following: cd /usr/src tar -xjf linux.2.x.y.tar.bz2 (might be a different name) cd linux.2.x.y make menuconfig (needs libncurses5-dev - other options are oldconfig, config and xconfig. Menuconfig is just my favorite. This is where NET_FILTER etc. must be enabled) make dep bzImage modules modules_install install Then modify /etc/lilo.conf to ensure it points to the correct kernel you just installed in /boot and run 'lilo' Reboot and pray. I'd suggest getting everything working with static IPs first. Some handy commands for networking trouble: mii-tool, ethtool, ifconfig -a, route -n, arp Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
