Gentoo not acknowledging Ethernet-Controller, or Dhcp.

[metacym]

thanks for the help guys.


route -n prints:
kernel IP routing table

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo




any suggestions as to how i might correct the default gateway ? it is obviously wrong if it is printing zeros, right?


Oh, and the internet connection is ethernet, stemming from a macbook pro set to 'internet sharing via ethernet'
the MBP is using a wireless connection from my WRTG150N router. the router is not physically close enough to the gentoo box
to directly connect.

same h/w. but this problem to me is random. Here is how i try to fix it

- reboot
- when it enters eth0 (just before dhcp, etc)
ctrl-s
-wait for 10 second
ctrl-q
-when it displays dhcp stuff (abt 2 seconds after prev step)
ctrl-s
- wait 10 seconds
ctrl-q

this seems to work around for me. though i have NO clue what the problem is.

i still need some help figuring out how to get my eth0 to be functional.

currently, it is up and running according to ifconfig. But web-browser, ping, or portage all give the respective feedback of no internet connection.
