Networking notworking

[mol-general@lists.maconlinux.org]

Hello,

I have been working for a while to get networking running on my Tibook IV,
running Debian sid and a 2.6.3 benh kernel. I have compiled TUN_CONFIG=m, and I
think the drivers have been installed (I no longer get the Mol disk image in
OSX).  I think I've done everything right, but when I try to DHCP in OSX, I get
this IP: 169.254.12.86, and no connection. I even try the manual DHCP where I
put in the Ip and DNS, but still get nothing. I get a tun0 device when I run
ifconfig: but it has inet addr:192.168.40.1 Bcast:192.168.40.225. I put these
in, and they don't work either. My only guess right now is that I need to
configure ipmasq and dnsmasq better. I remember going through a little config
when I did the apt-get for them, which were relating to firewalls and such (can
you tell I'm a n00b yet?). Does anyone know if I could have done something wrong
there, and if so, how do I reconfigure it right? I'm SOOOOOOOO close to only
having to boot up into Debian, and this is one of the last things I need to be
able to do.

Thank you,
Derek Otto
