Hi,

I've been running my Gentoo box for a while with no problem. I've also started succefully the network in the liveCD (minimal liveCD) in the past. But, for some reason now I can't (the same liveCD, and same psysichal configuration). The card is up (adsl-start shows connect) but pings are unreachable (pings with url and ip). Please, help, I need this badly.

Thanx a lot!

P.S: this only ocurr with liveCD. My already installed Gentoo workd flawlesly.

when pinging, try specifying the interface from which you want to ping, with the -I option. your eth0 from the livecd is your firewire - perhaps ping defaults to eth0 when an interface is not specified, hence you get bad results.
