Okay i got it to work. It turns out /etc/conf.d/net was not setup to see the router.
I just looked it up on the Gentoo Linux Doc and routes_eth0 was not set up so I added routes_eth0="default gw 192.168.1.1" to the end of the file, restarted eth0 and everything works now. Thanks for the help. On 1/12/07, Ryan Crisman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
