---------------------
what is ioctl? and should it be sit1? my ethernet device is eth0.....
can somebody please help?

thanx

ioctl is a command to manipulate special files (devices). From the error message it looks that it gets a wrong (not existing) device. My guess is thet there's something wrong in the configuration. Check everything again.

There isn't much in the tspc.conf
what should I be looking for?

Frst find the 'setup.sh' script and search for text 'Setting up link to'. The command that gives the error should be near.

I found this.....
what is wrong with it?
Display 1 "$TSP_TUNNEL_INTERFACE setup"
Display 1 "Setting up link to $TSP_SERVER_ADDRESS_IPV4"
if [ -x $ipconfig ]; then
Exec $ipconfig tunnel add $TSP_TUNNEL_INTERFACE mode sit ttl 64 remote $TSP_SERVER_ADDRESS_IPV4
else
Exec $ifconfig $TSP_TUNNEL_INTERFACE tunnel ::$TSP_SERVER_ADDRESS_IPV4
fi

thanx
