Yes. I don't recall either of the actual NIC modules you use depending on 8390.o >It seems that SHIFT-PGUP only works to scroll the screen for kernel >messages until I log in. Is that normal? No. But if you switch among VTs, that dofes affect the ability to scroll back. >Now I can proceed to try to get the Win machine applications to access the >outside world (mail, http, etc.). Is it necessary to enable these within >network.conf? In general, no. You do need to "enable" *incoming* services explicitly, but not *most* outgoing services (at least not mail and http ... I don't know what you think "etc" covers). For some "problem" services, you need to insmod special modules to handle outgoing connections properly ... ftp is the most common of these. -- ------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"--- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
