I am a total n00b to the entire world of 'computer networking'. Could someone plzzz tell me what 'mymachine' and 'mydomain' are? I'm with CenturyTel DSL. I tried to set everything up....but I had no Idea how. I connect through a Linksys router. I have one ethernet card eth0. Here are my boot up errors:
| Code: | *Bringing eth0 up...
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
* Failed to Bring eth0 up [!!]
* ERROR: Problem starting needed services.
* "netmount" was not started. |
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is a sign that you do not have the proper support in your kernel for your networking device (eth0 is ethernet card 1). You should find out what type of card it is and follow the kernel configuration HOWTO document in the Gentoo install docs.
Hope that helps. |
