My first guess is that the gateway is set incorrectl= y. I don't think the modprobe message is related. Note, I do not have DHCP running on my net. The only DHCP going on is between Qwest and the Cisco 675. I have mine set up like I think you're trying to do. I'm not too good at drawing but this might give you an idea of how my network is set up. There are two RaQ 3 machines. One is my firewall with ipchains. =46rom the wall to the cisco: Wall ---phone line --- Cisco 675 (207.225.166.113) =46rom the cisco to eth0 (10.0.0.4) of the firewall RaQ 3 Cisco 675 (10.0.0.1) ---- Cobalt RaQ3 (10.0.0.4) Then eth1 of the firewall RaQ is connected to the hub along with all my oth= er machines. Cobalt RaQ3 (192.168.1.1) --- | Win 95 (192.168.1.4) -------- | Linux (192.168.1.3) -------------- HUB=20 | WinNT (192.168.1.2) --------- | Cobalt RaQ3 (192.168.1.5) --- If you open a serial connection to the cisco box and do >show nat you'll get the information about the external IP of the cisco. Something like cbos#show nat NAT is currently enabled =20 Port Network Global eth0 Inside wan0-0 Outside 207.225.166.113 vip0 Outside vip1 Outside vip2 Outside Local IP : Port Global IP : Port Timer Flags Proto Interfa= ce .... The gateway for all my boxen is set to the internal IP of the firewall RaQ (i.e., 192.168.1.1). Check /etc/network/interfaces (or perhaps grep -r gateway /etc). Check the 'interfaces' man page for more info. I did a quick search for "char-major-6" on google. I believe that is lpr. If you want a quick fix - just to get the message to start -- add alias char-major-6 off in /etc/conf.modules (or /etc/modules.conf depending on your distribution). I hope this at least gets you pointed in the right direction.
