Hi everyone.
I subscribe to a broadband company that requires me to use pppoe. I have setup my router to establish an internet connection and I plugin my gentoo system into that modem. Does that mean I will have use pppoe in my /etc/conf.d/net or should I go with DHCP? |

If you router/modem is connected to the internet and your PC/Gentoo is connected to the router, then you are using ETHERNET and you may use DHCP or configure a fixed internal IP Address (e.g.192.168.1.100) for your gentoo machine - I do not use DHCP but have configured my network manually - see my reply to your post above.
follow these instructions :
| Quote: | If you need to configure your network connection either because you need specific DHCP options or because you do not use DHCP at all, open /etc/conf.d/net with your favorite editor (nano is used in this example):
Code Listing 2.4: Opening /etc/conf.d/net for editing
# nano -w /etc/conf.d/net
You will see the following file:
Code Listing 2.5: Default /etc/conf.d/net
# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
To enter your own IP address, netmask and gateway, you need to set both config_eth0 and routes_eth0:
Code Listing 2.6: Manually setting IP information for eth0
config_eth0=( "192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.0.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.0.1" )
