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?

Wow! Never noticed that before. I'm having a terrible time with users being unable to start X, and thought an identity conflict might be the cause. However, when I run # hostname, I'm whom I think I am
But sentmail is here doing something strange. I"ve no idea what could cause this.
