- The code for the ethernet card assumes that it uses IRQ 5, either change
- the card (which is likely to break any non Linux networking software you
- may also be running on the machine) or change the software line 17

- : (140.78.0.0) ..... (Tried both, none worked, or, well, i'm just to confused

-
- As for your net mask you will need to know how your local network is set up
- to do this.
- :
- : Also, in /usr/etc/inet/resolv.conf i have entered: domain-name & 2 name servers
- : But named cannot find named.boot. Where is this file ? Couldn't get it in the
- : distribution ...
-
- If you have a network connection then there is little point running named
- (except as a caching server)
- Find a BIND GURU for help with named it is not directly a linux problem
- (comp.unix.questions or such like is probably a better place to ask about
- BIND)

- : Who has connected the wd-card using linux/tcpip to the net successfully ?
- : Please help me !!! :-)))
