You need to use a floppy that's been preformatted to 1.68M... > 2)inside the /etc/ folder the file network.conf presented > me with some questions: should I set eth0 as local or as > external? the entries for eth0 and eth1 both requires IP, > netmask and gateways setup should they be the same or > different? You need to have a firewall package like rcf.lrp or seawall.lrp loaded. You also are setting up two interfaces on two different networks; the IP addresses, network addresses, and netmasks are likely to all be different. > 3)I also saw two files that look kinda familiar to > network.conf I am referring to networks.conf and > gateways.conf.

(A UNIX manual would help :) /etc/network.conf configures your network. /etc/networks is similar to /etc/hosts: they allow you to have names for networks instead of just numbers. You should be able to ignore /etc/networks and /etc/gateways I would think... > 4)inside the module option I saw three network files: > pci-scan tulip and eepro 100 since I am running 2 nics > 3C905 I figured I need to get some drivers for those 2 > cards and mount them.

To see what modules are being used, do an 'lsmod' and see which modules are needed for your setup. -- David Douthitt UNIX Systems Administrator HP-UX, Unixware, Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
