I'm having trouble with getting my nic set up for gentoo. It reads the following
| Quote: |
livecd root # ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:29:D4:21:34

Even though the nic card is properly configured, the cable is plugged in from the computer (green lights flashing, and I'm recieving packets) to my hub, and my internet is working (I'm running my laptop off the hub to post this), the following happens:
As well as the same message displaying when I try to use links2 to access www.yahoo.com.
I know we have to have a security certificate to access our network/internet, but I have managed to access it before without installing the certificate.
Any suggestions on either fixing this or getting the certificate onto gentoo before the install and how would I get livecd to read the certificate and display it to my network?
I'm running the AMD64 version of gentoo, I've installed SuSe and Redhat before, and I've worked in Redhat, SuSe, Mandrake, and a few others, but I'm not extremely experienced with Linux.

Hi and welcome to the forums
If you look carefully at the eth0 output, you'll notice that it doesn't have an IP address.
Did you configure /etc/conf.d/net? If the file is empty, you're trying to use DHCP. Did you remember to install a DHCP client? Does your router have an active DHCP server?
| Code: | | # emerge -s dhcpcd pump |

Thanks, I didn't notice that about the eth0 output. It has, although, recived IP addresses in the past, I'm just not sure how. All that /etc/conf.d/net shows is . I am however attempting to use DHCP. I have not installed a DHCP client, how would I go about doing that? I'm using just a basic 8-port 10/100 hub, not a router, so I don't think it has an active DHCP server. When I look at my desktop and laptops IP addresses in Windows, they have unique IP's that correlate with the IP's assigned for my area of campus by my university.
When I attempted to use
| Code: | | livecd root # emerge -s dhcpcd pump |
I get the message: | Code: | | -/bin/bash: emerge: command not found |
When I try to do # dhcpcd eth0, I get the message:
| Code: | **** dhcpcd: already running
**** dhcpcd: if not then delete /var/run/dhcpcd-eth0.pid file |
If I need to delete it, what command would I use? None of the ones I've attempted so far have worked, but I'm pretty sure I'm using windows delete commands.
Thanks for your help so far. |

Nevermind, I looked it up and found it was rm. Deleted the file and did dhcpcd eth0 and now its connected.
Thanks for the help. |
