 Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2005 3:00 am Post subject: nforce2 lan |
 |
|
Installed for the first time after 2 years of mandrake and it was quite different. Then I though I didn't learn alot in mandrake. Gentoo it pretty sweet, I managed to get the lan going in the install for 2005 version and compiled a kernel using genkernel because it sed that it will be like the install.
Booted my new computer but I can't get internet. The forcedeth driver is there for my nforce2 mobo when I type lspci. Is this all that is required?
So atm I can't ping in or out
ifconfig shows the correct ip |

Assuming your machine is 192.168.0.2, and the gateway is 192.168.0.1, you should get:
| Code: | Kernel IP routing table
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
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 |
It is normal your IP doesn't show. |

That exactly like mine but I still don't have the internet
I changed it to dhcp as the installation does and it can't start because the service netmount is not started, and you can't start it either because it can't start dhcp
So I can stop it because i think its not nessasary atm
| Code: | | rc-update del netmount default |
and with that it still can't do it. When I do
and forcedeth is there does that mean its a module
I am considering manually doing the kernel (not using genkernel this time) but puting in built into the kernel. Would this help and how do I do it? |
