A neighbour allows me use of his adsl line (we are physically networked together to share files etc).
I've recently put another IDE hard-drive in this box (using a caddy so my disks are interchangeable) and installed a minimal Woody in each of two separate partitions. The first installation I upgraded to a 'full blown' Woody having elected to install by 'http' and used the adsl line without difficulty. The second installation I upgraded to Sarge again without difficulty and using the adsl line. The kernels used were precompiled ones (2.2.20 on one and 2.4.18-bf2.4 on the other. Now, I have compiled 2.4.24 kernels on both (I'm looking at 2.6.2 for Sarge in due course!), but I cannot use the adsl for 'apt-get' on either when I boot into 2.4.24. The dhcp server is running on the neighbour's box whenever it is 'up'. 'route -vnee' and 'ifconfig' show the dhcp server has not allocated an IP addess etc. I can see no obvious differences in the kernel .config files (other than ones I understand and which are mainly the reason I compiled new kernels. I have a dialup modem attached to a separate firewall which I can use if and when necessary, and configuration of these gives me no problem. What do I need to do so that I can use the adsl line with newly compiled kernels? Grateful for any assistance.
