Network fine on OS9, but not on X

[Kent West]

I'm fairly new to the Mac world.

I have installed Debian (stable) on my G4 with 256MB, and then installed 
MOL. It's a tri-boot machine, with OS/9, OS/X 10.2.6, and Debian.

I've gotten networking to work (both Appletalk and TCP/IP via DHCP) by 
installing dhcpd. But OS/X doesn't seem to recognize the tunX interface.

Here's my /etc/default/dhcp file:

westk[@westkmac]:/etc/mol> cat /etc/default/dhcp
# Defaults for dhcp initscript
# sourced by /etc/init.d/dhcp
# installed at /etc/default/dhcp by the maintainer scripts

#
# This is a POSIX shell fragment
#

# On what interfaces should the DHCP server (dhcpd) serve DHCP requests?
#    Separate multiple interfaces with spaces, e.g. "eth0 eth1".
INTERFACES="tun0"


=============

And here's my /etc/molrc.net file (minus commented lines):


ifeq ${boot_type} newworld oldworld {    # Configure for MacOS only
    netdev:    eth0 -sheep
}
netdev:        tun${session} -tun

====================

Mac OS/X 's "Network" preference has "Location" set to "Automatic" (with 
a pulldown offering "New" and "Edit"), it has "Show" set to "Network 
Port Locations" (with no other pulldown offerings), and in the 
configurations box it has only one entry: "Built-in Ethernet", but it's 
grayed out, and it has an empty box (I assume that's a checkbox, missing 
a checkmark) under the "On" column.

I'm having trouble finding any documentation for how to proceed. Can 
anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
