dhcpcd problems

Hi All,

I've installed gentoo several times now and I feel a little stupid that I can't get this pc to work I'm seting up a gentoo base mame cabinet and I can't get dhcpcd nor the nic card to work.

I'm using 2004.3 with kernel 2.6.10. I've compiled all the modules required and I even see tx and rx packects. but dhcpcd fails and I can't even ping anything if I asign a static ip address.

Any hints would be appreciated

Thanks and keep up the good work

is your nic detected if you boot with the live-cd? Try to use another cable - maybe it's defect? Try to use another nic - maybe the nic itsef is not working properly.

What is your line in /etc/conf.d/net for the card? My most common mistake here is to change the ip but not the broadcast address.

Yes my nic works fine with the livecd.

and I've tried to setup boot static and dhcp in /etc/conf/net

Cable is also good

Hi, when you say that dhcpcd fails, what exactly is the error?
