No Internet After Restart

[jungalero]

Hey all,

Very weird thing: I restarted a Gentoo box (2.4.26-gentoo-r9) after 95 days of uptime and now can no longer access the internet (either coming in through forwarded ports or going out). The router (a Linksys RV082) is still accessible as are all other machines on the local network (10.0.0.0). There's no firewall of any kind, either, since all of that is handled by the router.

I'm thinking I probably updated a package sometime in the last 95 days that messed something up, but have no idea what it could be!

Here's some more info:

Hmm, I had a similar problem some months ago. Here the reason was an "emerge -u bind", I had done in the meantime (uptime was more than 150 days).
To check internet connectivity, I normally first try to ping an outside DNS server with a numeric address(address normally got from provider and residing in /etc/resolv.conf). If that works, I try some address resolving, e.g. "host www.google.com". That can be special, if have a named for your own network running, as I did.
In my case I had to rework my named configuration (zone files et al)

Just my 2 c
