I am unable to ping anything except my router. I cannot look up and websites or cannot ping say www.yahoo.com. If i try to ping it just freezes, if i try to emerge something it just hangs on resolving xx..xxx..x or whatever. I am using the netgear fr114p router and i use sbc dsl with a pppoe connection that uses dhcp. The dsl modem is a speedstream 5260. I am in windows at the moment and this is what I got from ipconfig /all

my /etc/resolv.conf says nameserver 68.94.156.1
nameserver 68.94.157.1

Windows just connects on boot but cant get gentoo internet to work right, i cant recall what I have in my /etc/conf.d/net or even if thats the problem. But based on that info could anyone give me an example of what my /etc/conf.d/net file should look like. Gentoo finds my ethernet cards with no problem so I dont think its in the kernel config. Thanks

I think "sbc dsl with a pppoe" needs auth options that windows is passing and gentoo is not look at the man page for dhcpcd and see if seeting the one of the switch in dhcpcd_eth0= line in your /etc/conf.d/net file to your user-ID / password help.
like maybe -h "your_user_name" -I "your_sbc_passwd"

some time is is set in the modem and some time not.

hmmm tried that and it didnt work, im guessing that my old dsl modem isnt communicating effectively with my router. With windows I just put all of my pppoe info in http:192.168.0.1 and it worked. Hmmm dunno what the prob is..

Ok when you boot in to windows dose it give you a loging {to the router the http:// 192.168.0.1} so you can enter your info or did you do that as a one time thing and now it just boot with live internet?

you mite look on the sbc.news-groups "sbcglobal.help.tech.linux" and see if there is some thing in there about the p3oe settup also.

Well in order to get windows internet to work I had to go to http://192.168.0.1. From there it was a conncetion wizard, asked me if my connection was pppoe etc and my login info such as 1234@sbcglobal.net and my pass and then i saved it and now it just boots up with internet.
