Network Connectivity Problems...

[0ver.bi+e]

Hi all,

I am sorry to report that I have been unable to connect to the Internet through my Gentoo box, and, furthermore, I am stumped as to what could be causing the problem. I have a Netgear FA311/312 series Ethernet card that is directly connected to a cable modem. I am using the Tulip module and my version (might be important) is 1.2. I am hoping to connect using dhcp (considering it worked with the same machine over summer).

The error I have been receiving has been coming at boot when init tries to bring my device (eth0) up. It reads as follows:

"Failed to start services:
netmount failed to start" (or something to that effect)

My Windows Xp machine has been able to establish a connection and yet, for all of my feeble troubleshooting efforts, I have not been able to determine why the I can't get the Linux machine to connect.

Also, what should my /etc/hosts, /etc/conf.d/net, /etc/resolv.conf
read?

I am sorry to press this issue, but I am very frustrated and can't seem to locate the source of the error.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Well, I don't know what I did (psych, I do ) but, upon reconfiguring my /etc/hosts and /etc/conf.d/net files and plugging my Linux box into my router as opposed to the Cable modem,...

everything magically worked!

(Ironically, though, now my Windows XP Pro box won't establish a connection. Weird, huh?)

Well, I should be staying on my Linux machine anyway. There's PHP to be learned.

Anyway, thanks for the help.

HAND (Have a Nice Day)
