hi there, i am having trouble connecting my pc to the network. i am using the distribution kernel, and the network worked for me for a long time, but now it has stopped working. I also have a dual boot with Windows and in Windows the network works fine. I also cannot ping the router in Gentoo. I have searched other gentoo forum posts and none of their solutions worked for me, here are some commands I used that might help with the diagnosis:
Code:

ip route:
default dev enp7s0 scope link src 169.254.143.28 metric 1001002
169.254.0.0/16 dev enp7s0 scope link src 169.254.143.28 metric 1002

ip addr:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host proto kernel_lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enp7s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e0:d5:5e:aa:5b:02 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 169.254.143.28/16 brd 169.254.255.255 scope global noprefixroute enp7s0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::537e:1d60:3b57:4470/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever


when starting dhcpcd manually, i get this:
Code:

dhcpcd enp7s0:
dhcpcd-10.0.6 starting
DUID 00:01:00:01:2d:a3:0d:88:e0:d5:5e:aa:5b:02
enp7s0: IAID 5e:aa:5b:02
enp7s0: soliciting an IPv6 router
enp7s0: Router Advertisement from fe80::1
enp7s0: requesting DHCPv6 information
enp7s0: soliciting a DHCP lease
enp7s0: REPLY6 received from fe80::1
enp7s0: refresh in 86400 seconds
enp7s0: using IPv4LL address 169.254.143.28
enp7s0: adding route to 169.254.0.0/16
enp7s0: adding default route

dmesg is on pastebin, because its too big: https://pastebin.com/4HNJ7FW2

The device does not get a IPv4 address and thus uses some 169.* address, which is kind of fallback.

Have a look at the wiki about network configuration and then tell us more what you already did or how your network is configured

what do you mean, by
Quote:
how your network is configured
?
so far i tried to use dhcpcd with the -n in order to get a new lease, however, it did not help. also, i looked if there are any other services that may use the network adapter, but i did not find any. i also tried adding the network manually via ip address add 192.168.2.(...) since my network uses 192.168.2.(...) i did not know what numbers to put at the end, so i choose random ones. Windows on the same PC uses 192.168.2.100, i tried that number too, and that also did not work.

I think Banana is asking which method you choose to setup network configuration on the machine.

Gentoo have multiple way to configure network stack on machine, some can coexist, some cannot. we need to understand which method you are using in order to think where to examine.

Please see Gentoo wiki Network management for detail.

Do you have access to the router and can view any settings?
Like which devices are connected. Network rules, DHCP settings etc?

i just followed the handbook, i think i am just using dhcpcd and not netifrc. Also, my "/etc/conf.d/net" does not exist, so i think i am not using netifrc. Yes, i do have full access to my router.

and? Do you see any connected devices or maybe an error log?
Because the networkdevice does not get a lease. Please compare it with how it looks with windows.

Well, since few days I do have problems in getting a DHCP too (from my DSL router, WLAN would be fine). Currently I try to circumvent it by
Code:
$ cat /etc/conf.d/net
config_wlp2s0="null"

dhcpcd_enp5s0f3u1u1="-t 10"
dhcpcd_enp5s0f4u1u1="-t 10"

routes="
default via fe80::1
"
*and* by changing the USB-C port I do use to connect to the docking station, so that the "3" eth device is use first.
However I'm unsure about the root cause.

What changed between when this last worked and when it first failed? OP: what is the content of /etc/conf.d/net on the affected machine?

As stated, OP does use "dhcpcd and not netifrc"

Maybe a kernel config change? (I do not use dhcp with my gentoo machines...)

please provide the output of emerge --info

so, after a lot of trial and error, i fixed it by adding this to my /etc/dhcpcd.conf

Code:

interface enp7s0
static ip_address=192.168.2.100
static routers=192.168.2.1


this in itself would not work , i had to go to my pc on my router settings page, and tick a box that said "always the same ipv4". both of these things had to be done in order to get networking to work again.
