 Posted: Tue Aug 22, 2006 5:27 pm Post subject: Cant configure network |
 |
|
Hello i am new to gentoo a week ago i decided to install gentoo and a day ago i installed my gentoo using the minimal installation CD i am pretty sure my kernel setup is set to suport my TCP/IP and i am sure that my /etc/conf.d/net and /etc/resolv.conf are confgured well and i dont know why i dont have network connection. I must notice that i perform my instalation form my office where the internet conection is on DHCP but i am sure that i set TCP/IP suport from kernel configurations and all other needed ....
Ant sugestions why i cant connect ?
PS I must notice that my installation is fully complete excluding the apps but my kernel works fine and boots fine just need conection to continue with my work at home. Thanks in advance  |

what does dmesg say? dhcpcd (or equivalent) emerged? nic driver compiled into kernel, or as a module? whats the output of:
| Code: | ping 216.109.112.135
ping yahoo.com
ping <your ip>
ifconfig -a
lspci|grep -i net
rc-update|grep -i net

well i dont have any connection so i dont find any point in pinging but here are the results
ping yahoo.com
ping: unknown host yahoo.com
ping 216.109.112.135 and <my IP> (same result)
connect: Network is unreachable
about the other functions as i already said i just build my gentoo from minimal and dont have many commands like greb like rc-update lspci so it just say that it cant find them
and about ifconfig it doesnt show any eth* only the lo 
PS: When i boot the instalation CD net-setup to configure my nework and chroot into my installed gentoo i got internet and that really confused me ... |

did you actually try running the commands at all? (as root). i cant imagine grep not being there; id also expect rc-update to be there; i may be wrong though, never used the min. cd.
if ifconfig doesnt show anything, you probably either compiled your nic driver as a module, or didnt compile it in at all. first of all, please make sure to run the commands i listed. if no results:
| Code: | emerge grep --> you definitely want this one anyway
emerge pciutils |
then:
this will tell us what nic youre using. if it should fail, boot up with the min. cd, and post output of:

hehe. silly me. ofcourse for emerge grep and emerge lspci, youll have to boot off of the min. cd, chroot, and then issue the commands.
