 Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2005 3:18 am Post subject: Network Issues [SOLVED[ |
 |
|
I have installed gentoo on my computer but I cannot get my network to work. I think it is something with the routing tables, but I don't really know. I have tried using dhcp but it complains about not having /etc/dhcpd.conf. I have also tried setting it up manually but it just doesnt want to set up my gateway. Any suggestions?

Have you set up /etc/conf.d/net?
Also what is the output of "ifconfig eth0"? If there is an error it means your kernel can't see the card. If it gives output you are a step in the right direction.
What happens when you do this?
| Code: | /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up
dhcpcd |
If all is well this should give you an ip. |

Error messages. We need your exact error messages. Enclose them in [code] ... (error message) ... [/code] BBCode tags, please.

And we don't really know either.

emerge dhcp will install the DHCP server, which is not at all useful if you need to get a IP address. emerge dhcpcd instead.

Yes.
- emerge dhcpcd
- Edit /etc/conf.d/net
- If 1 and 2 don't work, post symptoms and error messages here.

I have tried
| Code: | ifconfig eth0 up
dhcpcd eth0 |
dhcpcd just hangs for a minute and brings eth0 back down.
The only error message I am getting is | Quote: | | No /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf exists! |
I am also getting an error that devfsd does not exist, but I don't think that has anything to do with it.

I had two ethernet cards in my computer and one was not hooked up. I looked at my system log and saw that the card that was hooked up was eth1.
