Ok, I have added the alias line to the /etc/conf.modules file for the ne
driver. So the contents of the /etc/conf.modules file are as follows:
alias scsi_hostadapter qlogicisp
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x6000 irq=9
alias binfmt-332 iBCS
I have shutdown -r now and rebooted Linux again but the message:
SIOCADDRT: invalid argument
still appears when the ne driver is loaded. My dmesg file is as follows:

I have a Realtek 8029 PCI ethernet combo 10Base2 LAN card installed in the
Pentium 100 MHz computer, which as you can see from the above mesg listing,
is configured for I/O address 0x6000 and IRQ 9.

I am also current using ppp-2.2.0f-5 and noticed another problem that occurs
before the ne. eth0 driver module is loaded and the "SIOCADDRT: invalid
argument" appears, which is:
modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-5
modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-5
modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-5
These three messages are displayed while RedHat Linux 5.0 is shutting down as
well. These three messages just started when I upgraded to ppp-2.2.0f-5. I
have recompiled the kernel 2.0.32 and modules since I upgraded to
ppp-2.2.0f-5 but it did not solve the "modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-5"
or the "SIOCADDRT: invalid argument" messages.

the network:

My /etc/hosts file has the following in it:
192.168.110.1 dash.pentium-100_pc.com p100_pc.com
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
I can ping to either 127.0.0.1, 192.168.110.1, dash.pentium-100_pc.com,
p100_pc.com or localhost without a problem. Also, my ppp connection is working
fine. However, if I try to set up an ipx NetWare to another computer, running
OpenDOS 7.1 and Personal NetWare Server, it will not slist the PNS on the
Linux workstation.
The documentation, which is included on the RedHat Linux 5.0 CD-ROM seems to
hint that it is possible to interface to Personal NetWare from Linux using the
ncpfs utility commands. I have tried using the following command in Linux:
# ipx_configure --auto_interface=y --auto_primary=y
# ipx_interface add eth0 EtherII
which adds the ipx Ether_II protocol to eth0 without errors. Then I enter:
# ipx_interface check eth0 EtherII
which displays:
IPX Address for (eth0, EtherII) is 1C002B0C:00001C002B55.
to verify that the IPX Address and frame type is set.
However, when I enter the slist command in Linux to list the Personal NetWare
Server name, it says; "server name not found in ncp_open". I made sure that
the ipx address 0x00001c002b0c is unused on the other computer, which is
running OpenDOS 7.1 and Personal NetWare Server.
Any tips or suggestions will be very appreciated.
Again, thank you for your help.
