Very Computer

I'm trying to set-up SLIP for dial-in using dip-3.3.7o on a Red Hat Linux
(3.0.3) machine upgraded to kernel 2.0.14. When I connect to the RH machine
with a client and run diplogin, it tells me the IP address, netmask, etc,
but I cannot ping other machines.

Additionally, I get an error
        ERROR 'sl0' busy and not MOD_IN_USE
message on the console of the server.

I've never had any problems with DIP on Slackware running 1.2.x kernels, and
I'm stumped.

Please help.

Thanks,

Donnie Grimes

Just a thought... are you using a kernel with IP forwarding/gatewaying enabled?
        The distribution kernel I tried was Not.  I had exactly the same probs,
until I re-compiled with the switch on.    You must also tell your client
machine to use the logged-in one as a gateway
  (  /sbin/route add default gw 123.456.78.90  )    -I'm sure you know this anyway.
