lo,...
When i try to emerge rsync i get a failure!

starting rsync with rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-reportage...
rsync:getaddrinfo:rsync.gentoo.org 873: Temporary failure in name resolution.
rsync error: error in socket IO (code10) at client server.c (97)

What can that be??
I think that my network is not configured right..
I made following..
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0

then

/sbin/route add -net default gw 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 1

and then i only written in my resolv.conf
nameserver 212.185.253.70
---
192.168.1.2 is my ip
192.168.1.1 is the router´s ip
255.255.255.0 is the subnetmask
but i dunno what the broadcast IP is .. so ive choosen default (192.168.1.255)

I hope anyone could help me
Cyas :wink:

That particular error means it couldn't get an IP for rsync.gentoo.org, meaning it never got a response back from your nameserver, meaning either your nameserver is down or your network is down. Two very reliable nameservers are at 209.98.98.98 and 208.42.42.42 (both owned by VISI) -- they have easy-to-remember IPs and incredible uptime. They might come in handy.

ah.. found the problem.. it wasnt the DNS
It was the netmask from the gateway

/sbin/route add -net default gw 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 1

to

/sbin/route add -net default gw 192.168.1.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1

worx fine :lol:
