Hi JD,
Please post the eth0 line that you are using in your /etc/conf.d/net.
And also please post the output of lsmod showing your NIC module that gets loaded upon boot.
Thanks,
Floog

jdhooghe85, can you please provide a copy of the /etc/conf.d/net file. In the net file I provided, you should have iface_eth0="dhcp" uncommented. I also have dhcpcd_eth0="-d" uncommented for debug purposes.

# Global config file for net.* rc-scripts
# This is basically the ifconfig argument without the ifconfig $iface
#
#iface_eth0=
#iface_eth1=
# For DHCP set iface_eth? to "dhcp"
# For passing options to dhcpcd use dhcpcd_eth?

iface_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-d"
# For adding aliases to a interface
#
#alias_eth0=
# NB: The next is only used for aliases.
#
# To add a custom netmask/broadcast address to created aliases,
# uncomment and change accordingly. Leave commented to assign
# defaults for that interface.

#broadcast_eth0=
#netmask
# For setting the default gateway

#gateway=

When i boot to the live cd the internet works but when i am in my system it doesnt. i am using the nvidia ethernet driver:forcedeth and it starts as a module as it should at startup. when i type ifconfig in my system it only shows lo and when i type ifconfig in livecd it shows lo and eth0. I use cable from a router and the only thing i have enabled in /etc/conf.d/net is the dhcp stuff and nothing else. I also have the right dns address in /etc/resolv.conf. when i type ifconfig eth0 it shows eth0 in loopback. If anyones got any suggestions that would be great. |

If you need further help let us know and we can walk you through it. |
I got through an emerge -u system, and ran dispatch-conf (I dont now trust etc-update!) and netwmount, ssd, and Samba now fire up when I boot!
Which is all cool - but I still have to do a su > dhcpcd eth0 to be able to get anywhere! Any ideas?

My thanks to Lesc and Floog -Im now out of this damned nightmare! The emerge -u system did the trick - I just had to run dispatch-conf to clean things up and then re-edit my /etc/conf.d/net and add back some stuff that my origianl etc-update hosing had got rid of!
The combinations of a dodgy emerge and an etc-update had me completely confused!

No prob., Oli.
We all worked through it together.
I really enjoy the open attitude of the Gentoo community.
Coming from a binaries based distro. background, Gentoo is taking a while to get used to, but I am enjoying it more and more every day.

Great news oliwood! You solved this problem.
I learned a lot working through this eth0 problem. It's great to see the Gentoo users working together to solve each others problems. Since the last time I was here, I have read a lot of message threads about "etc-update" and the use of dispatch-conf. It's good to see that this worked for you.
