On the topic of re-numbering networks: I have recently installed DachCD, and noticed the comments in network.conf for eth1 specify "DO NOT CHANGE." I assume this is due to some hard-coded instances of this explicit IP, rather than a variable. I noticed in the weblet config, 192.168.1.254 is

Well, it seems like you could *try* copying the working 3c5x9.o file to the LEAF disk --- but with kernel differences it may not work. Another thing you might try is the preconfigured modules.lrp for the 3c5x9 from www.pigtail.net/LRP. In my experience, Nicholas does a great job of testing t

Ray & Charles, Thanks for the direction. I will take a gander back thru the configs, and probably start over with a clean floppy if it doesn't jump out at me. Likely I nicked the code somewhere when I was changing the 192.168.1 references. It'll be another learning experience :) Dan Quotin

A couple of things are happening. First, it seems that your Dach box is not obtaining a proper address from your ISP. If your address used to be 24.116.x.x, you should be seeing something similar now. Since it is getting assigned a 10.x.x.x address, the ipfilter code is generating the "opera

Perhaps I should have been clearer :) My intent was to say that if it boots from the CD, you are a lot better off when loading packages, as the load time is significantly faster than a floppy. That's what makes it "unquestionably the way to go." Non-bootable CDs work, and give you the additi
