 Posted: Tue Apr 16, 2019 4:34 pm Post subject: Can't connect to internet/ping after updating |
 |
|
rebooted our server computer after updating portage a month ago, and now I can't connect to the internet, and pinging 8.8.8.8 gets me "connect: Network is unreachable". Searched the forums all over, but nothing seems to work 
our ifconfig file shows the following (my apologies, i had to hand type this all out)
| Code: | eth0: flags=4163<UP.BROADCAST.RUNNING.MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80:: e2cb:4eff:fee5:e9d7 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
inet6 fe80:: d797:d265:537c:acba prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>

We don't understand why eth0 doesn't show the IPv4 address (I think it needs to show something here?) or just in general, if something needs to be reconfigured to get us back on a connection?
We've tried the following things:
We've restarted dhcpcd and eth0
| Code: | root # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
rc-service dhcpcd start |
In /etc/conf.d/net, we've added
| Code: | config_eth0 = "192.168.1.1/2700"
root_eth0 = "default via 192.168.0.1" |
And in /etc/dhcpcd,conf
| Code: | config_eth0 = "192.168.1.1/2700"
root_eth0 = "default via 192.168.0.1" |
Kind of lost and at wits end after 2 days of working at this, so any help would be appreciated (: |

Hmh ... updating portage does not make any changes to the OS.

DHCP client is started automatically by init script, no need to start it by hand. Furthermore, it seems you aim for static configuration, thus DHCP is not needed.

This netmask is invalid.
| Quote: | | root_eth0 = "default via 192.168.0.1" |
This has to be route, not root. And it may be outside of your subnet, too (can't tell what subnet you have, netmask is invalid).
In short, you better call your IT guy.
