I'm setting up a copy of RedHat 8.0 on a machine that is intended as a standalone machine with DSL access to Internet.
I have eth0 up and running, and did the adsl-setup with my usual valid information. The problem comes trying to make ppp0 active. It tries, but cycles between active and inactive. When I run adsl-start with debugging, it tells me that I'm set up for demand-connection. I definitely have eth0 set to be permanently up. Does this alert refer instead to ppp0? If so, perhaps this is what I'd expect. Is that right? I'm also told: ipchains: Protocol not available That sounds to me as if my firewall (which I set to be "high" protection), may be blocking the ppp protocol. Does this seem to be the case? I went to pursue this, and ran ipchains -L, but got the error message that this command is incompabible with my kernel. What to do?
