The problem I have is really strange. The thing is that after updating my gentoo about 3 days ago, I can't enter any web page using firefox or any other browser. Neither can I connect to any server using ssh. I thought my internet provider forgot to report to me that there would be something bad going on with the net but it fact when I switch to windows everything works fine. What's more when I switch back to gentoo ping works perfectly for any web page. There are no lost packages. So I the resolv.conf must be ok the same as kernel eth0 modules. I don't have iptables installed so it's not their fault either. Can anyone suggest a solution?

| The problem is solved. Adding to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem helped. I used 2.6.18-r1 kernel and now when I'b back to 2.6.16-r9 everything seems to be all right, but the net is not working as fast as it used to be, but I hope it's only my impression. |

I'm curious, was it adding the lines to that config file that
fixed it or switching to the older kernel? |

I'd go for downgrading the kernel. When I added the line mentioned the net started to work, but I was able to eneter only a couple of web pages when it stoped working again. After switching back to 2.6.16 everything is ok, except the fact that I can't emerge --sync any more  |
