 Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2005 9:44 pm Post subject: A Loss of Internet Access |
 |
|
I am in the process of installing Gentoo. I just finished the first portion (during which I was able to access the internet) and I rebooted my computer. However, since then I have lost internet access. I am quite new to this and as a result I am unsure what kind of information to post here.
I am not using DHCP, I have a static IP.
When I run ifconfig it lists the correct IP address, Broadcast address, and the correct netmask. The gateway and nameservers are also correct. The ifconfig also indicates that there is transmission but no receiving. Thanks for your help. |

This kind of thing happens to me a lot when I am working through an http_proxy. You can do this in a shell:
| Code: |
EXPORT http_proxy=my.proxy.server.com:8080 #probably port 8080
|
If that does the job, then you can add it to your /etc/profile, and remember to source /etc/profile
HTH.

Unfortunately, when I tried to do this, I received an error stating that EXPORT command was not found. Thank you though! |

Can you post the output of ipconfig, route -n, and /etc/init.d/eth0 status please?

I thought that EXPORT should be lowercase?

Lowercase did result in a successful command, however, I still cannot ping google.com. Thanks though! |

For more info on non routeable space read RFC1918. (IIRC)
