- I too get the ioctl: invalid argument message at bootup. After trying
- unsuccessfuly to configure my system for tcp/ip I went ahead and downloaded
- the SLS tcpip.taz and used it as a basis for my configuration (I changed the
- domain/host names and left the numbers alone). Having done this, I now get
- the ioctl message. Ftp works now, though. Telnet has problems with login
- (I get the login: usage message and have to ^C out of it), but afm works.
-
- Hope this helps narrow down the possibities some.
