I just installed Gentoo dual boot on my laptop, gentoo found my nic and was downloading everything fine without a problem. I recompiled and setup everything and finished the install. I restarted my new box tried
ping www.google.com

and it says network unreacable.
I actually found a fix with

route add default gateway 192.168.0.1
*192.168.0.1 is my gateway* and the net connection is working again. But thing is i have to do this everytime i boot my laptop i have to do this.
i dont know which config file i need to change so it stays. ive tried editing my resolv.conf with my gateway but no joy *didnt think it would because its for dns*

anyone?
thanks:)

You can set the default gateway in /etc/conf.d/net. When you have finished editing that file just restart your networking using: /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart

Here's my /etc/conf.d/net - the only thing I changed is my public ip..

Code:
# /etc/conf.d/net:
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/conf.d/net,v 1.7 2002/11/18 19:39:22 azarah Exp $
                                                                                                                             
# Global config file for net.* rc-scripts
                                                                                                                             
# This is basically the ifconfig argument without the ifconfig $iface
#
iface_eth0="40.50.60.70 broadcast 40.50.60.79 netmask 255.255.255.240"
iface_eth1="192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
                                                                                                                             
# For DHCP set iface_eth? to "dhcp"
# For passing options to dhcpcd use dhcpcd_eth?
#
#iface_eth0="dhcp"
#iface_eth1="dhcp"
#dhcpcd_eth0="..."
                                                                                                                             
# For adding aliases to a interface
#
#alias_eth0="192.168.0.3 192.168.0.4"
                                                                                                                             
# NB:  The next is only used for aliases.
#
# To add a custom netmask/broadcast address to created aliases,
# uncomment and change accordingly.  Leave commented to assign
# defaults for that interface.
#
#broadcast_eth0="192.168.0.255 192.168.0.255"
#netmask_eth0="255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0"
                                                                                                                             
# For setting the default gateway
#
gateway="eth0/40.50.60.70"


Hope this helps,
