Hi,
i try to install 2006 Gentoo, but during installation i cant get network connection.
i get only local area connection but cant reach the outside IPs.(cant ping to yahoo but local IP)
and if someone can inform me about lo (local loop back). i didnt see that before and i guess my problem caused by that.
i gave IP to lo than i can ping to local IPs.

thanks alot.

It looks like your routes aren't setup correctly
what's the output of netstat -r ?

netstat -r output as follows:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
144.122.170.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
loopback livecd.gentoo 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
default 144.122.170.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

the routes seem ok to me (if your router is on .1). HAve you tried to ping an outside ip directly, i.e. don't use a domain name. Could be because you have to fill in your resolv.conf
