Did just finish the install of gentoo. My ver first linux system, hehe. :) But when I have rebooted, I logged in as root and typed "links -handbookurl-" to read the last chapters of the guide. Gentoo didnt recognize the command... so I did "emerge links". But all I got was "temporary failure in name resolution".

When I got this problem under the installation I ran the "mirrorselect" command/script, but I couldnt do that now. Guess it was something that was just avaliable during the install.

My ISP's two DNS servers are listed in /etc/resolv.conf.

I tried to ping my router (192.168.0.1) but didnt get any response. It works here in windows though, which im working in now. Tried to ping myself, 192.168.0.2 (my router is set to give me this static ip all the time), it worked... so it must be something with the router.

Having problems getting help in the irc channel as I really dont know what to ask. Also, as I said, this is the very first time inside any kind of unix system for me so thats confusion enough.

Any ideas? Feel free to add me on msn (mizipzor@hotmail.com) if you wish. Any kind of help is greatly appreciated. :)

route -n gives:

Code:

destination gateway genmask flags metric ref use iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo


ifconfig stated: -00 lo sit0 and a bunch of data with them. As I need to manually write everything down on a paper and reboot to windows i picked only what i guessed was necessery.

Under -00 it states; inet addr: 192.168.0.2 Bcast: 192.168.0.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0.

I just want the network to be working so I can learn from within Linux, so to speak. Ask if more info is needed, or look for me in the #gentoo channel.
