Hi all,

I am setting up a gentoo machine for a friend but have hit the following problem.

The machine has a netgear NIC and I am installing from stage 1. The machine is sitting behind my gateway server which is using IPTABLES.

The NIc was not detected but I did "modprobe tulip" and that seemed to work. (tried natsemi but that didn't work).

After completing the ifconfig and route command and setting up the resolve.conf I can now ping and traceroute to internal and external sites by IP and name.

However if I try to use wget or ssh to internal or external addresses or names the machines just seems to hold until I ctrl-c out of it. I am at a loss to understand this.

Here is the output from ifconfig and route.

eth0
Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr FF:FF:3B:CC:FF:FF
inet addr: 192.168.1.5 Bcast: 192.168.1.255 Mask 255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU: 1500 Metric: 1
RX packets: 148 errors: 1 dropped: 0 overruns: 0 frame: 0
TX packets: 118 errors: 0 dropped: 0 overruns: 0 carrier: 0 collisions: txqueuelen: 100
RX bytes 14312(13.9 kb) TX bytes: 7719(7.5 kb)
Interrupt: 11 Base address: 0xc800

route
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0

The first of these lines gets added when I complete the ifconfig command. An explanation of this would be useful.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

As funsize asked, what NIC are you running, if you don't know off the top of your head, you can see what your kernel sees it as by searching through the result of:
Code:
cat /proc/pci


I'm not sure if this is on the install CD, but could you run
Code:
dmesg
and give us any relevant information? Maybe it will mention something about why the insmod/modprobe failed on natsemi.

I have a Netgear FA311 running in a P180 which is also running Gentoo, the natsemi driver worked fine for me, but you mentioned you tried that.

The FA310TX uses the tulip driver

The FA311 uses the natsemi driver

I belive the FA312 also uses the natsemi driver

I have had some trouble with my NIC lately...it's a FA311

I have the same NIC and it uses the tulip drivers so thats set up right, plus the fact u can ping proves its working.

Just out of curiosity, when you said you had edited /etc/resolve.conf, was that a typo? cuz it should be resolv.conf (dont wanna sound patronising).
