 Posted: Thu Jan 06, 2005 11:42 pm Post subject: Can't connect to the net |
 |
|
Alright my set up is
Modem - router - pc
I set eth0="dhcp"
but on boot I get an error:
| Code: |
ERROR: Problem starting needed services!
netmount was not started.
|
Now a known issue before I installed gentoo was that my router would get the same ip as my modem which would cause conflict not letting me connect to the net, I dont know if this could be the issue. Although my other pc and xbox are connected to the internet  . When I put in the livecd I can connect to the internet fine as well ><;

does your kernel recognized your network card?
perhaps you forgot to compile the correct driver... |

Well, you have to ensure that you have selected the correct driver for you particular network card, below is an example of what menuconfig looks like for my setup (under device drivers / networking support / Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) )
if you selected to compile the driver as a module, remeber to put the name of it in /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6
in my case, i compiled it right into the kernel, so i don't have to bother.
you can also try 'lsmod' to see which modules were loaded when booting from the live cd, this might give you an indication of driver is required..

| 8139too was what lsmod said for my eth0, but when I compile that driver with gentoo the same thing still happens, I can't connect :/ |

I gather that you tried compiling the driver as a module and then inserted the module into your kernel without errors,
(lsmod reports 8319too)
you then try
but you are still unable to assign an ip address to eth0 ?
well, i'm making some serious assumptions that your router even using dhcp... perhaps thats a problem, but then you said it works properly when you boot the livecd.
Its hard to offer more addvice, when your post lacks details.. try and explain with more detail, then we might get somewhere.
Also, there are about a half million posts on this exact subject... get friendly with the search.
One more thing, have you started /etc/init.d/net.eth0 ?
have you configured /etc/conf.d/net properly... you said you have eth0="dhcp"
I might be mistaken, but i think the line in /etc/conf.d/net should be

I had this one too when instlalling 2004.3. I have a setup the same as yours.
Check the line above your error. I got something about dhcpcd not being a file or directory. You need to boot with the live cd (to get your network working) and do an
I read in an earlier post that dhcpd was included in the system package for 2004.2 but not in 2004.3 so that dialup users didnt have to download packages they didnt need. This is probably why it is not yet in the handbook. |

I also have this problem, but mine has DHCP installed. I am pretty sure it's something with the driver, but I'm a Linux noob and I don't know how to install the driver I need (Windows uses "Realtek RTL8169/8110 Family Gigabit Ethernet NIC"). Another thread I found by searching mentions the menuconfig thing but I thought I had to recompile the Kernel if I changed that... I'd rather not recompile the kernel  . It's been a battle to get this far, and now I've kinda hit a brick wall. Any advice? |

compiling kernels are not that hard. you just have to get used to it. and make menuconfig is rather straightforward, so if you mess up you can always exit and not save changes.

| What else would I have to do again after recompiling the kernel? Would I need to reinstall grub or anything else? Or would I just make menuconfig, compile the kernel, and copy it to the boot drive? |

yup that should be it. if you compile it as a module of course youll have to load it somehow.
