We have a Compaq Deskpro 386/33L system with a Western Digital 8003 ethernet card running SCO version 3.2.1c and Open Desktop version 1.0.0b. I am having trouble getting the network up and running. I didn't configure the kernel myself and I'm no System V wizard, so I suspect the problem is a misconfigured kernel. However, I can't find the problem. The symptom is that whenever you give the /etc/ifconfig command, you get the following error message: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGFFLAGS): Invalid argument This happens whether you give the ifconfig command directly at the shell or if it gets run via the /etc/tcp script. It even happens when trying to bring up the loopback interface via "/etc/ifconfig lo0 localhost". Netstat -i prints out headers and nothing else. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please reply to me directly as I don't usually read this newsgroup. --Jim Dempsey-- Bolt, Beranek & Newman Cambridge, MA jjd@bbn.com ..!harvard!bbn!jjd
