 Posted: Fri Feb 23, 2007 5:53 pm Post subject: Fresh Install, but emerge/network/internet not working |
 |
|
I just installed ok and now I get error when trying to emerge.
When running from the cd my emerge/internet works.
my /etc/resolv.conf:
| Quote: | #Generated by net-scripts for interface lo
domain homenetwork |
results:
| Quote: | eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:blah
inet addr:my ip Bcast:my ip but 255 at end Mask: 255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 metric:1
blahblah do you need the rest?... |
and
| Quote: | lo Link encap:Local loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 mask:255.0.0.0
loopback running, blah... |
shows the same but also eth1 with no ip address (I have 2 eth cards and yes I've tried swapping the chord thank you)
What can be wrong? |

/etc/resolv.conf generally requires a nameserver defined, if you want DNS to function. If eth0 is using DHCP, it should be generated automatically. try restarting eth0 and see if resolv.conf changes. If not, or you're using static networking, try putting it in manually.
| /etc/resolv.conf: | nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

If you use dhcp you've got to install it by:
| Code: | emerge dhcp
rc-update add net.eth0 default

It's just to stupid that the GRP-installer doesn't install dhcp and networking per default.

Maybe you've got to boot and chroot again with the livecd to have internet and the ability to download the ebuild.

...to download the dhcp-ebuild.
An ebuild is a gentoo-package.
Btw. it's better to have dhcp-internet than having no internet.
Why do you want to avoid it?

cuz this is supposed to be a server with a static ip
I don't know much about network stuff, but I think it's better to have static with server |

are you sure the IP you put in the nameserver line is correct?
also, double check the static IP and gateway in your network setup (/etc/conf.d/net) |

ok turns out I was using the wrong nameserver. I changed it in the etc/conf.d/net and nothing changed. then I changed it in etc/resolv.conf.
I don't really know which rj45 is eth0 and which is eth1 so I'm just going back and forth with each change.
left port when I try emerge links I get failed: No route to host.
right port I get failed: Temporary failure in name resolution still |

Please make sure these two files look like this (post yours if you want):
| /etc/resolv.conf: | nameserver 192.168.0.56
nameserver 192.168.0.57
domain wigglytoes.org |
| /etc/conf.d/net: | config_eth0="192.168.0.182/24"
routes_eth0="default via 192.168.0.1" |
Is this a home network? at work? who set it up? Make sure you can ping your gateway (the default via ...) and your nameserver.
to make things simpler, you can skip using the gentoo net.* scripts (/etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop) and try this:
| Code: | # ifconfig eth0 up YOURIP
# ping NAMESERVERIP
PING NAMESERVERIP (NAMESERVERIP) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from NAMESERVERIP: icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 time=4.81 ms
64 bytes from NAMESERVERIP: icmp_seq=2 ttl=254 time=0.241 ms
--- NAMESERVERIP ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1000ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.241/2.526/4.811/2.285 ms |
If you don't get a response, there is probably something wrong with the network itself :) |
