LAN works, no internet, routing problem [Solved]

I use my wife's PC as distcc helper. A couple hours ago I noticed it's down. I couldn't start it any more, "attempting to kill init" was as far as I got. OK, PSU was expired, I replaced it. Booted from HDD. Everything looks nice. Except direct internet connection does not work! Firefox through proxy - works fine. NFS volume mounts fine. I can ssh into that box. I can ssh out from that box - but only locally. Every address outside results in "network is unreachable" message.

(No firewall)
I started it up with GRML and ran fsck. All clean. Network works like it should. :!:

I even do not know where to look, any ideas are welcome.

Nope, names resolve, I run local DNS cache. "Network is unreachable" comes with IP address as well. :roll:

Let's see /etc/conf.d/net.

I have the same problem. Yesterday i upgraded system and world. Everything was working fine until i rebooted - after reboot internet is not working. LAN is working fine, i can ping router, but I cant ping anything outside - "network is unreachable". I think the problem is with init scripts, emerge upgraded baselayout. I try to downgrade baselayout when I get back home.

Had the same problem here. New baselayout fscked over my networking over when I rebooted.

I could an ping my router and another machine on said router (basically any machine in my subnet). I had to manually fix the route table, not impressive. The base layout update was a minor release and there I was with a static IP on a single Ethernet interface and no network access.

It took me half an hour this morning to fix it, I have no idea how it could mess up when the masking is explicitly specified in /etc/conf.d/net

Hi just wanted to say thanks, this solved my problem for now, i would never have found it on my own. I downgraded my baselayout.

From past experience any time I have problems with my wireless,
the first thing I check is baselayout, So i did not waste much time
on this before backing it off. The problem was telling me that the key
was not right for the ESSID. I didn't record the whole message but
it was real strange. Its been quite awhile since baselayout caused me
a problem
