After the new net.eth0 init script, I get these lines while booting.

Quote:

* Starting eth0
* --Bringing up eth0
* ----dhcp
* ------Running dhcpcd ... [ ok ]
* ------eth0 received address 192.168.0.xxx
* --Adding routes
* ----default gw 192.168.0.1 ... [ !! ]


(it didn't really say xxx, I changed it cause I'm paranoid :) )

I'm trying to work out what is happening, but I'm getting lost in /etc/init.d/net.eth0

I get this from route, and everything appears to work fine (I can access the internet, etc.).
Quote:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0


Does anyone know how I can get the error message? or know straight out what is happening?

Edit: added the '-'s to show indentation

First off, I wouldnt worry too much about hiding your actual IP address, since it is an internal IP which really doesn't mean anything to anyone outside of your network.

Second, can you check what is in your syslog around that time? There might be something in there telling you why it isnt working.

I did tell you I was being paranoid. Seriously though, I am behind a router that isn't mine, and the password is the factory default, so I might as well have a external IP.

The logs stop saying stuff as soon as init is run.

It does help. Just needed to comment out the line in my /etc/conf.d/net for setting the gateway. Seems dhcpcd does that itself.
