Hello!
I have a problem installing Gentoo behind a proxy.
All the connections up to the proxy are going smoothly (I can ping inside my local network) but I can't reach an url after the proxy with lynx or ping.
I did just the same I did before for the box I'm writing from now. The parameter are the same.
I know it's somehow vague but all the parameters are the same from my box.

If you think it's util, I can post my ifconfig.

Regards,
Sébastien.

sebgarden,

Have you set your gateway and DNS ?

Does /sbin/route show a line like (therre will be others)
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default Moriarty 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0

Which means my gateway to the internet is via a machine called Moriarty.

Regards,

Hi,

it leads to:
Code:

bash $ /sbin/route
Destination Gateway Gen Mask Flags Metric Ref Use
r-wohnheime.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
172.20.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0
Default r-wohnheime.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de 0.0.0.0  UG 1 0 0


Thanx
Sébastien.

sebgarden,

That looks good - your default route is through gateway wohnheime.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de.

Are you able to ping wohnheime.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de by name, IP address or both?

Does your proxy require authenticaion?

I can ping both without any pb.
Pb is to ping a website or access for ex. gentoo under lynx

sebgarden,

Try ping 216.239.53.99
and ping google.com

They are both google.com.

If the IP works and name is broken, you missed entering the IP of your nameserver. If you don't know it, make it the same as your gateway.

If that fails, change the entries in make.conf for Gentoo mirrors from
http://www.<mirror-name>/<path to gentoo> to
http://<IP of mirror>/<path to gentoo>

Then you can do the install without being able to resolve names to IP addresses.

Regards,

NeddySeagoon
