Hi Yaniv,

Well, I started netconsole as a module on "machine A". It loads fine
and I get this in dmesg

netconsole: local port 6665
netconsole: interface eth0
netconsole: remote port 12345
netconsole: remote IP <machine B's IP>
netconsole: remote ethernet address <machine B's MAC>
netconsole: local IP <machine A's IP>
netconsole: network logging started

However, when I run "nc -dul 12345" on machine B I get nothing
displayed, even as messages get added to dmesg on machine A. Are there
any common problems with netconsole that I may not be handling?

Thanks,
Cam
