Cannot ping past nameserver

i'm doing a fresh internet install of 2004.3, but after configuring my network I can only get as far as my nameserver. I exported the proxy, but it didn't do anything.

Any ideas?

I noticed the error when I tried to links2 into gentoo for a stage tarball.

What is the output of "ifconfig eth0"?

Also, have you tried to use "net-setup eth0" to configure your network card?

Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:DB:97:B7:BA

this is after running net-setup eth0
I can ping Gentoo's ip address, but I can't ping www.gentoo.org
I can links2 into the site with the ip, but not the FQDN.

Are there any name server IP addresses in the /etc/resolv.conf file? If not, edit the file and copy it to /mnt/gentoo/etc/ too after mounting partitions.

Your setup sounds all right, except for DNS.

I checked the /etc/resolve.conf file and the nameservers were there in

[nameserver ###.###.###.###, ###.###.###.###]

format, but I changed it to the second format listed in the manual

[nameserver ${###.###.###.###}}
[nameserver ${###.###.###.###}]

there was no change. However, I could open ###.###.###.###/Mirrors/distfiles/stages
formats.

This method broke down when I tried to emerge --sync and the emerge-webrsync

Try using bbcode for code listings. If you're using [nameserver...] then the brackets are totally wrong.

My /etc/resolv.conf looks like this:
