Hi everybody,

About a year ago I set up a home router on a Dell GX1. The router have an onboard Ethernet interface and i add a Kingston Ethernet interface. Everything was well recognized by the kernel 2.4 and i set up my box successfully with NAT.

Recently I run into problem trying to install Teamspeak server 2. I decide to upgrade the system by typing

Code:
emerege sync
emerge system


Everything work fine, till the reboot, where the ntpd-client failed to synconize. Since this I have try a lot of things to be able to connect it to the networks again but ping always return me a Destination host unreachable. I have check ifconfig wich look good for each interface. Try to recompile a kernel but same result. The route command works but very slowly.

Have you any clues for me ? I have try a lot of things and i still unable to connect.

Thanks in advance

Jimbo

Hi Jimbo,

Code:
emerge sync
emerge system


is not enough.. At least you should do a

Code:
emerge -upD world


This shows you what needs to be updated. If you agree to what needs to be upgraded you can remove the "p". This starts the actual update process.

Regarding your network :
Provide us with more background. What interfaces work?. To what machine can you ping? Does nameresolving works ? Does it work if you disable the ntpd (time daemon) ? Do you use pppoe ? Plain network routing between two subnets ?

Cheers

Hi das_leid,

Thanks for your reply, i just figured out what was wrong. The monolithic kernel just switch the eth1 network card with eth0, all I have to do is switch the cable and it's work. It was not easy to discover since in dmesg eth1 is called eth0 and eth0 is called tulip0, and of course i don't have any alias because it's embeded in the kernel.

I still don't understand why it was switched...

Have a nice day

Jimbo
