Linux Newbee

["Thomas Ross" <thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Help!   If you desire.

I am trying to setup my first Linux box to be an internet gateway for my
home network.

I have read the article by John Beimler and am trying to implement it.

I have Redhat 5.2 installed and have gone through all of the steps.  When I
get to the part where I am instructed to run pppd :10.0.0.2  My computer
responds
pppd: demand dialing is not supported by kernel driver version 2.2.0

How do I compile my kernel?
Any ideas what I should do from here?
I can telnet into the Linux box from another computer on my LAN.
I have a static ip from my provider, but that I am sure will be a question
for the future.

Thanks in advance,
-Thomas

p.s.  Yes I am an advanced programmer, but I am fluent with, of course,
(shhhh Microsoft products).  I didn't want to say that too loudly incase
that would mean that I wouldn't get any help.
