Re: PLIP question
I have been told what the problem was. Basically frisbee did not figure
out correctly where the parallel port was. Inserting the plip module
explicitly via
insmod plip io=0x278 irq=7
solves the problem. Apparently, putting arp into the ifconfig helps,
too. Now it all works. My next thing is to get IP-Masquerading to
work...
Thanks,
Janos.
