Make sure your /etc/resolv.conf is set up correctly.

it shows two dns servers, 24.220.0.10 and 11 listening on bis.midco.net

someone recommened "ping -c 2 24.220.0.10" on both server ip's i got network is unreachable

i checked my /etc/conf.d/net file i have everything commented out but the hdcp line

i also forgot to mention something very important, im behind a linksys router, im sure that will make a diff troubleshooting

thank you

Your system does not know the way out to the internet.
That is, your route to the outside is not known.
try this
Code:

route add default gw <ipadres for your gateway>


wanna bet it will work now.

You will only have to find a correct and clean way to set this route after e reboot. (I have not yet found a nice script to place this.)

goodluck.

edit: some stupic typo's :wink:

Wasn't the option to set the default route at the very end of the interface configuration file?

My own pc is broke, and i'm stuck on my mothers pc where i don't have Gentoo, so i can't check.

The place to add the route to your gateway is /etc/conf.d/net

Look down at the very bottom of the file, there is an example that is commented out.

as we all know with computers we can go back and forth for ages until i would stumble onto the fix

but if i may, what files do i need to concern myself with for network settings?

to help narrow it down, i have a single nic in my machine leading to a linksys router which then goes to my cable modem

i do not have a static ip

with some guidance on where i need to go, i think i should be able to find enough documentation on how to configure the files in question

thank you

Ok, so if you have a linksys router, can we assume it is acting as a DHCP server? If so, then you have to edit /etc/conf.d/net and set eth0 to use DHCP and that should be it. Test it manually by running
Code:
dhcpcd eth0
then trying to ping yahoo.com or something.

If DHCP is supposed to work but doesn't, make sure you network card module is being loaded and tell us what errors you get when you try the dhcpcd eth0 command.

If DHCP doesn't work then go back to the install instructions which tells you how to set up a static connection.
