 |
|
Hi, I installed Gentoo on a single system. I then made a loopback file and copied the entire preconfigured Gentoo install to the loopback file.
The intention is/was to create a master install/back up disk for gentoo which could be transported installed and tested on a variety of machines - and also to enable the possibility of always keeping a god back up of a recent working config.
However after making the master/disk and mounting it as a loopback file and chrooting into it, I have found that I can't do any networking and I can't do emerge or emerge sync, or even ping anything.
This is the info from ifconfig:
| Code: | (chroot) linux1 / # ifconfig

Which is wrong, as I only have 110 static ip's on my network ranging rom 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.110 and 143 dynamic IPs ranging from 192.168.1.111 to 192.168.1.254 - which puts the address given above 169.254.150.23 squarely outside of the range of anything I have available. Yet weirdly 9as you can see) I can still ping that address.
So the question is, what's going on - and how do I fix it? If it is any help at all I did create the disc image on another machine - but it is on the same Lan as the current machine - so again I don't understand it.
BTW if the mods feel this would be better suited in Networking - please feel free to move it. I wasn't entirely sure what the best category was.

PS,
Is there any reasom why I can't surf these forums with Firefox - but I can with Konqueror? Firefox just doesn't go anywhere when UI try to browse. |

raid517,
169.254.150.23 isn't on your local lan
