No Network after booting from installer gentoo

During the installation my eth1 card worked fine through net-setup. After booting from the installed gentoo I got a 'device not found' for eth1 with ifconfig eth1 ...

Diffing with lsmod and lspci between both boot modes showed that at least module '8139too' was missing. Adding this to /etc/modules/.../autoload that message was solved.

Changing /etc/conf.d/net to bind through eth1 ifconfig wasn't complaining any more. There was a eth1.

But pinging resulted in something like 'no route to host'

Using route showed a 192.168.#0#.1 as a * gateway (whatever that means because I have no '0' in 192.168.#0#.1)

Using route add 192.168.#1#.103 default gw 192.168.#1#.1 solved nothing.

What tools can I use to solve my connectionless pc beside
- lsmod
- lspci
?

Do I need to load more module?

Thanks for reading

Please tell us how you're usually connecting to the internet... Do you have some ADSL router or something?

Could it be that it just works after issuing "dhcpcd" (maybe you need to emerge it after chrooting using the livecd first)?
I think most cable routers assign IPs over dhcp...

I must refrase my infra. I have an E-TECH router connected to my cable 'device' ... so my NIC was functional from the live cd with a fixed ip.

But my NIC is not working from hd.

How can i analyse the problem. What tools are there and what is with 192.168.$0$.1 in my route output.

So your router doesn't assign IPs and instead you need to set static IPs on the clients? That's rather rare; usually they use dhcp still. Well, please test "dhcpcd eth1" anyways!
If that doesn't work, then most likely the route entry in question must have been set because your /etc/conf.d/net is configured as it is (no gateway/wrong gateway set), and because you already added it to the default runlevel using rc-update.

I see many weird letters like # # and $ $ in your ips. Do they really exist, or are you just using them as place holders?! (Please dont...)

About the tools- well, the details of that hopefully won't be needed

You would'nt possibly have Firewire on your motherboard ?

Does 'lsmod' show 'eth1394' loaded ?

Which lines are uncommented in /etc/conf.d/net? Post the complete lines please.

I'm a little :roll:

about my problem. I tried to change my router from fixed to dhcp but my winxp doesn't like dhcp anymore

Tried to do a sshd session from that winxp but :roll:

got refused.

Is someone out there who is willing to chat about my problem and perheps wants to do a remote session (sshd) to fix this? I'm getting a little desperate.

Roadrunner out :-)
