Well I am working on the new syntax to IPchains. Do we have a debianized
version of ipmasqadm that will replace ipautofw? I looked but the debian
site is very slow from me now. Masq is a good as working with the 2.2.1
kernel.
My LP problem has been solved by compliling both PARPORT and PARPORT_PC
into the kernel. I simply tried PARPORT but LP was still not found. I
still have lp as a module. My lilo.conf passed the following:
append = "ether=0,0,eth1 aha152x=0x340,11 lp=parport0 parport=0x378,7"
And all works... Thanks all for your help!
