what's a quick way to enable a static IP address? -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Elkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2003 9:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: New Kernel - No Network

The ifconfig screens look the same, except that eth0 has no IP address in 2.4.20, which leads me to believe that the dhcp is not enabled in the new kernel. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot that one. At the same time, if I do a lsmod on both, I get 4 modules on 2.2.22 and none on 2.4.20. Are some of the module functions built into the new kernel? I wouldn't have eth0 up if that function weren't handled by the kernel, would I? After dmesg, the log on 2.4.20 seems to load Net 4.0 without problems, except at the end when it says... Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux... ds: no socket drivers loaded. Could this be a problem in enabling connection to the lan? Please advise. Thanks. Vince I had a similar problem when I didn't enable socket filtering in the network config section. Not doing so will stop DHCP from working. Try enabling a static IP address. If that works you'll need to recompile your kernel with socket filtering. Jeff Elkins http://www.elkins.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
