- I have downloaded the file but can't get it working for LM 2.1. When I run
- netbind, it give me a error saying that 'error binding protocol ...'. I have
- followed all the instruction in the associated odinsup.doc file but it does
- not work.
-
- Also, if I omit the 'BUFFERED' keyword in net.cfg, ODINSUP does not warn
- me as stated in the doc. Is there something wrong here ?
-
- Any help is appriciated.
