Hello, I am having trouble getting PLIP to work. I have two debian linux machines, called frisbee and piglet. I tried to follow the instructions of the PLIP mini-HOWTO, they seem to work on piglet but not on frisbee. (I also have the laplink cable all plugged in but frisbee does not seem to be ready for the fun.)
/etc/hosts on frisbee does contain the lines ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 10.0.0.1 frisbee 10.0.0.2 piglet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- but when I try to add the routes, I get errors like this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- frisbee# /sbin/route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable ---------------------------------------------------------------------- if I go on to do the ifconfig bit anyway, the plip module does get added but I get errors again ---------------------------------------------------------------------- frisbee# ifconfig plip1 frisbee pointopoint piglet up SIOCSIFADDR: No such device SIOCSIFDSTADDR: No such device frisbee# lsmod Module Pages Used by ppp 5 0 slip 2 1 slhc 2 [ppp slip] 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I am running a 2.0.33 kernel that I have compiled myself to the specifications in the HOWTO. I shall include the .config file in an appendix to this letter. Please lend me your advice on how to fix this. I tried to read the RTFM but the mini-HOWTO suggests that these errors were caused by not compiling enough stuff into the kernel, which I think is not the case. (Piglet runs on a very similar kernel.) I have also tried 2.0.27, but that did not work either. Thanks, Janos Csirik. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Automatically generated make config: don't edit # # # Code maturity level options # # CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL is not set # # Loadable module support # CONFIG_MODULES=y # CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is not set CONFIG_KERNELD=y # # General setup # # CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not set CONFIG_NET=y CONFIG_MAX_16M=y # CONFIG_PCI is not set CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT=m CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y CONFIG_KERNEL_ELF=y # CONFIG_M386 is not set CONFIG_M486=y # CONFIG_M586 is not set # CONFIG_M686 is not set # # Floppy, IDE, and other block devices # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y # # Please see Documentation/ide.txt for help/info on IDE drives # # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PCMCIA is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640 is not set # CONFIG_IDE_CHIPSETS is not set # # Additional Block Devices # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD=y CONFIG_MD_LINEAR=y # CONFIG_MD_STRIPED is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XD is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD is not set # # Networking options # CONFIG_FIREWALL=y CONFIG_NET_ALIAS=y CONFIG_INET=y CONFIG_IP_FORWARD=y CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y # CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES is not set CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL=y CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL_VERBOSE=y CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE=y # # Protocol-specific masquerading support will be built as modules. # CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_ICMP=y CONFIG_IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG=y CONFIG_IP_ACCT=y # CONFIG_IP_ROUTER is not set CONFIG_NET_IPIP=y CONFIG_IP_ALIAS=y # # (it is safe to leave these untouched) # # CONFIG_INET_PCTCP is not set # CONFIG_INET_RARP is not set # CONFIG_NO_PATH_MTU_DISCOVERY is not set CONFIG_IP_NOSR=y # CONFIG_SKB_LARGE is not set # # # # CONFIG_IPX is not set # CONFIG_ATALK is not set # CONFIG_AX25 is not set # CONFIG_NETLINK is not set # # SCSI support # # CONFIG_SCSI is not set # # Network device support # CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y CONFIG_DUMMY=m # CONFIG_EQUALIZER is not set CONFIG_PLIP=m CONFIG_PPP=m # # CCP compressors for PPP are only built as modules. # CONFIG_SLIP=m CONFIG_SLIP_COMPRESSED=y CONFIG_SLIP_SMART=y CONFIG_SLIP_MODE_SLIP6=y # CONFIG_NET_RADIO is not set # CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET is not set # CONFIG_TR is not set # CONFIG_FDDI is not set # CONFIG_ARCNET is not set # # ISDN subsystem # # CONFIG_ISDN is not set # # CD-ROM drivers (not for SCSI or IDE/ATAPI drives) # # CONFIG_CD_NO_IDESCSI is not set # # Filesystems # # CONFIG_QUOTA is not set CONFIG_MINIX_FS=y # CONFIG_EXT_FS is not set CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y # CONFIG_XIA_FS is not set CONFIG_FAT_FS=y CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=y # CONFIG_VFAT_FS is not set # CONFIG_UMSDOS_FS is not set CONFIG_PROC_FS=y CONFIG_NFS_FS=y # CONFIG_ROOT_NFS is not set # CONFIG_SMB_FS is not set CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=y # CONFIG_HPFS_FS is not set # CONFIG_SYSV_FS is not set # CONFIG_UFS_FS is not set # # Character devices # CONFIG_SERIAL=y # CONFIG_DIGI is not set # CONFIG_CYCLADES is not set # CONFIG_STALDRV is not set # CONFIG_RISCOM8 is not set CONFIG_PRINTER=m # CONFIG_SPECIALIX is not set # CONFIG_MOUSE is not set # CONFIG_UMISC is not set # CONFIG_QIC02_TAPE is not set # CONFIG_FTAPE is not set # CONFIG_APM is not set # CONFIG_WATCHDOG is not set # CONFIG_RTC is not set # # Sound # # CONFIG_SOUND is not set # # Kernel hacking # # CONFIG_PROFILE is not set -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
