Hi

I have some problems with configuring and installing the net-stuff. The
kernel (0.99p4) is compiled with tcp/ip. At boot this messages showes up:
bla bla
 socket: protocol not supported
 socket: protocol not supported --> what protocol ???
 socket: protocol not supported
 init AF_UNIX AF_INET ... can't remember the whole phrase
 init loopback device
bla bla
 
When i telnet into my pc (loopback device i have no ethernet board ..)
this happens:
$telnet Cyberspace
Cyberspace: Hostname lookup failure ---> nameservice ???

If i start telnetd (telnet daemon) another error message appears:
getpeername: Bad file number

A simple client/server application i 've written produced this error:
 server : socket() bind() listen() ---- ok
 client : socket() ## connect -oops-- > ERROR "network unreachable"
                                       ... doesn't know himself ??? why ??

I used install.net and collected all files (last FAQ part4) in /etc/inet
{resolv.conf, hosts, rc.net,inetd etc.). Also i mknod 'ed loop0 and loop1
((b 12,0) (b 12 1) in my /dev dir. Are there any other devices to install ??
Any Idea what to do ????

thanx in advance
   h.b.
