This is a warning message - it is telling you that /etc/conf.modules was
modified after the last time "depmod -a" was run, so some modules that
should be loaded may not be loaded. Depmod -a is run as part of the
bootup procedure, so the problem fixes itself. Several probrams will
modify /etc/conf.modules. Did you run Soundconf?

What error message do you get? Are you trying to ping using the IP
address, or by host name?

This is not the preferred way to do it. You may want to check into the
sysctl command. If you want the changes to last over a reboot, you need
to put them in /etc/sysctl.conf. Is there a reasion you are turning IP
forwarding on? If you only have one NIC, and you do not have another
network interface, such as a PPP connection you are going to share, then
you do not need it.

The route command makes changes in the running configuration, but does
not change the config files, so any changes are lost when you reboot.
There are several packages that will make perminate changes to yor
routing tables. If you are running X, you may want to try netcfg. It
is part of the control-panel package. You may also want to get the
Webadmin package. It will let you configure the system from a web
browser. I have not found a good console based tool for configuring
static routes...
