kernel compile gone wrong.

Hi,

Guilty as charged for not providing enough info.  Here's my system:

NT workstation connected to Linux via ethernet (up and running).  I telnet
into the linux box with no problems from the NT machine.  I do have Samba
installed and running and that's how I'm pumping files into the linux
machine - I download onto my NT machine via an ISDN link, then copy up to my
home directory share that samba mounts for me.  I then use telnet to su and
move the files from my home dir into those areas only accessible to root.
All of my kernel compilation attempts, etc. are performed over the telnet
link.

My ultimate aim is:

1 - Linux with an ISDN adaptor acting as a proxy for the rest of the
network;

2 - Linux acting as a learning tool for routing/IP issues.

Hope this helps and thanks for the assistance so far.

Tim

I think he doesn't need Samba yet. That's for file sharing between a linux
and NT box. His current problem is a non-networked linux box with no modem
access. It just seems that using the sneaker net is an unfortunate
choice--though he hasn't said a lot about his environment. He has said his
NT workstation accesses the net over a "network" which IO take to be a
lan.
