This software is from a company called 'Apani Networks' and they are slow to update their code to reflect kernel changes. I too am stuck with Nortal VPN boxes at work and it's a pain to get them working. What's worse, is their NetLock software is also a pain to get working as well... Try dropping back to the latest kernel they have supported in their library and compile that. I was certainly able to make it compile against 2.6.12 as I recall... but since I was running 2.6.13+ at the time, it didn't do me much good... Again, double check the README that came with the software and try to do all the compile work by hand, and not using their canned solutions for Redhat, etc. I was able to get it to compile, but never managed to get it working on my main home machine unfortunately. Can you post the log of all the steps you took to compile the code, the kernel version you're using, and any output of the make commands? That would help. John
