I seem to have some network issues with my gentoo install I have /etc/init.0/net.eth0 configured to run at the default runlevel. It appears to startup ok. No firewall has been installed yet. The network appears to startup eth0 correctly, obtaining a dhcp address from my cable provider via the router.
The problem is that I do not seem to have a network connection. pinging http://www.google.com produces no response. attempting to emerge x11-xorg gives a 'temporary failure in name resolution' pinging the router ip address similarly elicits no response. The etc/conf.d/net file contains dns_domain_lo="homenetwork" config_eth0=( "dhcp" ) dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis" The /etc/conf.d/hostname file contains HOSTNAME="tux" If I run /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart, I get Unmounting network filesystems Stopping eth0 Bringing down eth0 Stopping dhcpcd on eth0 Starting eth0 Bringing up eth0 dhcp Running dhcpcd eth0 received address 192.168.2.4/24 Mounting network filesystems With the corresponding 'OK' comments on the right of the screen. Nothing extra appears in dmesg in response to this command. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks in advance Jeff -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
