[rtl] PPP, Compile problem in Rtlinux.....

["mshsaint" <mshsaint@direct.ca>]

Hi
I have the Redhat v 2.0.33 and I am tryng to connect to PPP, but
unfortunatly nothing seems to work, I used the HOWTO's and the Readme file
but  there is something I am missing here...
I know I added the PPP modules while compiing the kernel.

I made a file .../rc.d/rc.inet1 containing the following lines...
	/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
	/sbin/route add 127.0.0.1

Then I made another file containing this line .../rc.d/rc.inet2
	if [ -f  /usr/sbin/inetd]
	then
	/usr/sbin/inetd
	fi
	And the same for syslog & routed...


Next step was the host file which the only line existant in that is
127.0..0.1 loopback localhost
( I CANNOT DEFINE A LOCAL IP ADDRESS FOR MY SELF SINCE INTERNET DIRECT
GIVES THE IP DYNAMICALLY)


and the last thing I did was the /etc/resolv.conf and have the following
info init
	domain direct.ca ( my provider company)
	nameserver xxx.www.ttt.ggg ( the appropriate number)

I have also put the rc.inet1 & 2 in the inittab and tried to run telnet
but...... It doesn't work...

In readme file there is a command for dynamic address assignment pppd
connect ' chat -v ".... which I tried that too, but nothing really seems to
work properly although I followed everything step by step...

***I have another question too, when I add something new to a file such as
app.c in the testing directory and compile it, it seems not to get compiled
and still use the original codes, I even use make clean but it doesn't work

*** And my last question is while adding the EDF patch to the kernel it
gave me the error that it was compiled with kernel version 2.0.29, I
compiled it afterwards but it still doesn't work.....


Thanx a lot
