RE: Linux 2.1.28
Hi Richard: What I have in my /etc/init.d/network is ifconfig lo 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 When the system boots and I run a netstat, my lo network interface doesn't show up. Why?, I don't know. However when I issue a ifconfig, the lo interface shows up. In a nutshell any route or interface definition in networks seems to need a netmask. I didn't experience these conditions on 2.1.2. I hope this helps. Regards, Peter Iannarelli Richard Morin responded on Tues.

Linux 2.1.28
Hello all: I have recently upgraded my debian system from 2.1.2 to 2.1.28 because of the SMP support and found the following problems. 1. Masquerading doesn't work in 2.1.28 2. The pppd reports a netmask error once LCP negotiation is complete even if a netmask is provided in either of the options files. 3. The /etc/init.d/network file is not compatible between 2.1.2 and 2.1.28. A netmask must be provided for network interface and route definitions or the system will hang on boot. 4. ext_fs and xia_fs header and support files were missing from /usr/src/linux/include/linux therefore applications requiring those header files would not compile. ( I copied them from my 2.1.2 ) Regards Peter Iannarelli
