Hello, I have debian unstable (as of about June 10) running on dual PII. I want to try the latest kernes but as of 2.3.9x kernes I cannot get they computer to ping anywhere. I am not sure if the problem with the network setup of the config files in /etc or the Express100B device driver (it was modified in latest kernels). But I do not get anything in /var/log/debug or /var/log/kernel so I am kind of lost at how to debug this problem.
I do not have forwarding enabled (and I tried to compile with and without it). I also installed iptables software (but as always with linux or FreeBSD -- you have to be an idiot-savant in networking to figure out how to get that stuff to work) Anyways, with/or without forwarding compiled into the kernel the results are the same. If I have to RTFM somewhere, please do not hesitate to point out where :-) Thanks in advance, Vladislav
