host not found

[Dennis Bolser]

i have my /etc/conf.d/net setup as:

config_eth0=( "192.168.0.201 netmask 255.255.255.0" )
route_eht0=( "default gw 192.168.0.2" )

and when i boot into my gentoo installation, i do ping -c 3 www.yahoo.com i get "host not found"

but when i do

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.201 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.0.2

and then ping yahoo, it works. how can i make it work on its own?

hmm. also rc-update add net.eth0 default

# Here's how todo routing if you need it - the below sets the default gateway
routes_eth0=(
"default via 192.168.0.2"
)
