hello
i'm trying to install gentoo and start to configure my network
it seems everytinhg is all right while setting up adsl.
connects correctly and adresses are ok.
but when i try to open a page like www.google.lt i get a message:host not found.
what is wrong?

Hi.

Check that you have the file /etc/resolv.conf .

It should contain the nameserver IP like this.

Code: Select all

nameserver  123.234.124.044
nameserver  123.234.124.045

You enter all nameserver that your isp supply.

Well i hope you didn't use those numbers.
You have to enter the IP of the nameservers of your ISP.

Look at the papers from your ISP for nameserver settings.

it could also be the case that your ISP hands you the addresses of the nameservers on login. Your client needs to be set to accept this
