networking mess

Hello,
Not so recently problem with networking started on my gentoo installation, at first I ignored it doing workaround all the time, but now its becoming annoyance. This is what happens:

When I connect to internet through modem I have to disable my network interface in order to be able to use modem connection. So every time I dialup I need to do /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop to be able to use dialup connection.

Can someone suggest solution to this problem. I remember it all worked fine before, I think it something with portage or baselayout, also on bootup system is trying to mount already mounted swap and naturaly fails second time....

Any usefull advice?

You really need to give us more info to work on... logs and error messages for a start.

Why do you have to down eth0 before connecting to the net? Could it be a routing problem? When eth0 is up all packets are routed to your LAN rather than out to the WWW?

As for your swap problem, we again need more info.

Sorry I can't help more.
Ed.
