                      ???????????????

This does not allow a 'reply all'    :-(

Dear Haines Brown:

 I use Roaring Penguin PPPOE. http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/
I selected permanent connection, but I am unsure if this applies
to eth# or ppp#. :-|  'adsl-setup' and 'adsl-start' are script
names with my application (Roaring Penguin).  I am assuming that
your using the same or similar.

 How do you know "I definitely have eth0 set to be permanently
 up" ?  Actually, I'm betting that it is ppp# that is set to
 demand or permanent.

 It seems that your dsl connection (PPPOE?) application is
setting up IPCHAINS, but your kernel is using IPTABLES.

You can:

- reconfigure (make config) your kernel to use IPCHAINS.

- configure IPTABLES to replace your dsl-connection application's
  attempt to use IPCHAINS.

HTH, Chuck

I'm setting up a copy of RedHat 8.0 on a machine that is intended as a
standalone machine with DSL access to Internet.

I have eth0 up and running, and did the adsl-setup with my usual valid
information. The problem comes trying to make ppp0 active. It tries,
but cycles between active and inactive.

When I run adsl-start with debugging, it tells me that I'm set up for
demand-connection. I definitely have eth0 set to be permanently
up. Does this alert refer instead to ppp0? If so, perhaps this is what
I'd expect. Is that right?

I'm also told: ipchains: Protocol not available

That sounds to me as if my firewall (which I set to be "high"
protection), may be blocking the ppp protocol. Does this seem to be
the case?

I went to pursue this, and ran ipchains -L, but got the error message
that this command is incompabible with my kernel.

What to do?
