You need to be more specific about what your problem is.
Is your net interface (eth0) up ? (run /sbin/ifconfig. It should list eth0).
Can you ping anything on your network?
Are you trying to use a static IP or get a dhcp address?

The output to /sbin/ifconfig is:

You should read up on network configuration here:
Gentoo Handbook Part 1, Chapter 3
under manual configuration, probably.

It looks like you don't have your card module loaded. The guide tells you how to load it.

If you don't know if you want static or dhcp, well, nobody here will decide for you. Judging by your post though, I think you need DHCP (your IP adress is in the dhcp block.

OK, i read that guide, modprobed a couple of cards until i found 1 that didnt error

The output to /sbin/ifconfig is still the same but to ifconfig etho:

try :
ifconfig eth0 up

Give it a few seconds to get a dhcp lease, and run ifconfig again. The card should show up
with its assigned IP address.

If that works, edit /etc/conf.d/net like nixnut suggested, and do /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart

The card should still work.
If it does, run
rc-update add net.eth0 default
You card should now be up and running.

I thought it was sorted cos i could ping my network, but the internet doesnt work, any ideas?

Have you set your gateway in /etc/conf.d/net? That will need to be the ip number of your dhcp server, I think.

ok ive done that, but its still not working (tho i can ping my network)

nixnut · Posted: Sun Apr 25, 2004 8:02 pm Post subject:

Have you restarted the network?
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
And have you edited the gateway line in /etc/conf.d/net:
gateway="eth0/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip number of your dhcp server

Hmm, we're slowly running out of things to try.
Ok, I'm curious whether you get an ip number assigned from your dhcp server. What is the output of /sbin/ifconfig now?
