Jeez, I don't know what to say - check to see if your interfaces file in
/etc/network includes rausb0 correctly - did you remember to include the
line
auto rausb0
above
iface rausb0 inet dhcp
or if you have a firewall, have you configured it to allow the port that
rausb0 uses
I don't really have much more I can think of. Hve you tried posting your
problem to "comp.os.linux.networking"? There's some real networking gurus
in that group & maybe some one can spot something that neither of us have
thought of.
Sorry I can't suggest a more concrete solution to your frustrating problem.
Sincerely,
