falcrow,
Welcome to gentoo.
You are trying to have both a static and dynamic network setup
| Code: | #vi /etc/conf.d/net
config_eth1=("192.168.1.237")
dhcpcd_eth1="" |
also it looks like your static address, is not in the same subnet as your nameserver.
| Code: | #vi /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.0.1 |
while this can be made to work, its not something a home network needs.
Use either static settings or dynamic - there is no need for you to mix them.
To change to dynamic (all dhcpcd), comment out everything in your /etc/conf.d/net file. dhcpcd is the defualt and it should just work when the interface is stared.
To change to all static, find out what subnet your router uses and allocate yourself an IP in its subnet but outside of the range it serves for dhcp. Remove the dhcpcd_eth1=""
You will also need to add a default route. See /etc/conf.d/net.example
