Im having real trouble setting my internet up, i had it working at one point via dhcp and i cant get it working now, ive tried everything, i posted in the installation forum but was advised to post here as they ran out of ideas heres the thread 4 history... https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=165648&start=25&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= basically i cant quite understand why id doesnt work as ive had it working befor then it just stopped working after the computer froze when i tried to emerge kde please help, the main problem is if i try to use dhcpcd then my ifconfig comes up as usual but without ip addresses:
| Code: | eth0 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:44:67:CF:A2
inet6 addr: fe80::202:44ff:fe67:cfa2/10 Scope:Link
UP BROUDCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU: 1500 Metric 1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 Kb) TX bytes:0 (0.0 Kb)
Interrupt:16 Base address 0x3f00 |

The other thread suggests a lot of different content in your /etc/conf.d/net, but those things should be given to you by the dhcp server. My /etc/conf.d/net contains one line only:The rest is commented out.
Also note that running "/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart" doesn't give you a new IP from the dhcp-server on all machines (there's a bug report on this somewhere), so you should always do: | Code: | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start |
An what is your network media? Make sure that your network is running on the correct settings (100baseTx-FD/100baseTx-HD/10baseT-FD/10baseT-HD) using: The first number is speed (MBit) and the to last letters is full or half duplex (you almost certainly have full).

When you say in the other thread that you found a module that insmods without errors, did you just try them randomly? We can't help you if you're not sure that it's the right module. Check what nics your module support, there should be a list in the documentation.

Baffeling.
I'm going to look into this closer, but I have an electromagnetics exam tomorrow. Doesn't anyone else have any ideas?

You should be able to use static IP's while running the DHCP server, but you should probably use adresses outside the DHCP IP-pool.
Your DHCP IP Assignment Table is probably ment to lock the IP of a computer, so that it "dynamically" assigns the same IP to the same computer every time. Just guessing though.

I put in my old 1.4 live cd and found that in the /etc/conf.d/net file it has
| Code: | iface_eth0="dhcp"
iface_eth1="dhcp" |
everything else is commented out, i also checked the /etc/resolv.conf file, and it has
| Code: | | nameserver 192.168.1.254 |
just like i have it set up, so now it is all set ip identically to the live cd which has working intrenet, but i still cant get it 2 work 4 me |

i was just wondering, is there an automatic network setup tool, or something (perhaps similar to the one in the live cd) that can be used (id burn it onto a cd or something) to set up the internet, as when i put in my 1.4 livecd it detects it perfectly, but i used the anaconda installer to install this time as i was having trouble compiling the kernel
Thanks

I'm lost. I think what you need to to is look closer at the liveCD. Find out what it does by looking at the scripts and try to duplicate that in your installation. Find out what processes it lauches during startup. It has tools to find out what network-card you have and automatically insert the needed modules, so I guess it figures out what settings are needed for your dhcp as well.

I've never used Anaconda, but if you boot the liveCD the ordinary way, and try to ping at the prompt, does it work? If so, ignore Anaconda and find out what the liveCD just did. It runs startup scripts just like any other linux installation.

| make sure you are running the correct module by booting the live CD and doing lsmod |
