I recently installed Seawolf and have been trying to use a 'slip' link to go from the kernel to a NOS application. This allows NOS to work with the kernel and to go out onto the internet and Radio Frequency network. The arrangement is simple where the kernel sees the application and the application sees the kernel. A < --sees---> B. Next a default route is installed allowing A or B to go to C which is the default route and the gateway to the internet. A<--->B---->C (internet).. Well all my efforts to get this done failed. The kernel and NOS could work each other just fine and the kernel could get to the default gateway and beyond, but not so with NOS (B). No luck whatsoever.. All NOS (B) could do was simply to get back and forth from A, the kernel. Now - with all that in mind, here is something interesting. In my moment of dispair and desparation - I formatted my hard drive and installed SLACKWARE7.1. I installed the slip link exactly as I did in Redhat7.1 and it worked perfectly!! What in the world is different about RH7.1 that it simply would not allow an application like NOS to communicate across a slip link to a gateway and beyond?? What did I miss? Could it be the firewall? Or does RedHat have secrets that are yet to be revealed?? -- Ted Gervais Coldbrook, Nova Scotia Canada. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
