Hi, yeah...

I'm using cable internet, set up for dhcp.

I just installed kernel 2.6.3-gentoo-r1. I did remember to do:

cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/resolv.conf

nano -w /etc/conf.d/net
*******************
iface-eth0="dhcp"

nano -w /etc/hosts
***************
127.0.0.1 localhost

I am planning on looking over those files to see if I missed anything, but I'm hoping someone might be able to tell me I forgot something in a different file?

Anyways, I'll post back if I solve it.

My network card was automatically detected by the CD.
When I read the install notes, it suggested that I only
had to copy the resolv.conf from the cd over to the /etc folder.

I did that. I'm about to go over the install notes again.
But no, I didn't explicitly define my network card.

Is there an alias in /etc/modules.d/aliases matching the module for the ethernet interface?

Like so:
alias eth0 tulip

Problem Solved:

I needed to do this:

Code:
dhcpcd eth0


it solved the whole problem.
