Hi, ive improved my internet problem by emergeing coldplugs and changing the /etc/conf.d/net file abit, i can now ping my router and the light flashes so its working(i mean my network adaptor) buyt something is still not right because i cant ping www.google.com, www.gentoo.org or anything else only the router ive spent many hours today trying to fix it, my /etc/resolv.conf only says 1 thing nameserver=192.168.1.1(something along thos lines) is that normal??

Thank You.

BTW, im finding gentoo rather differnt from slackware, etc, because all the things are in differnt places etc. So in other words im a total gentoo noob.

Code:

route add defualt gw 192.168.1.1


Also, resolv.conf needs your nameservers IP's. I'm assuming you are on a cable modem or DSL line...go into your router admin..under the status page there show be some DNS server IP's somewhere in there. Use those.
