is your network up and running? e.g., what does 'ping www.gentoo.org' say? or 'ping 194.25.2.129'?
if the first one works, the problem could be that you are connecting through a router with firewall. try 'emerge-webrsync' in that case or configure your firewall.
if only the second one works, there'll be a problem with the nameserver. configure /etc/resolv.conf in that case.
if neither one works, you'll have to setup your network. this is covered in the install guide. |

Hey...
As far as I know net-setup only works on the livecd environment, although I might be wrong on that one.
ok, first of all I would check if the modules for your NIC are loaded successfully. should give you a list of modules loaded in your kernel. If the module for you nic is there, then you are ok. Otherwise, try to load it by | Code: | | modprobe moduleforyournicwithoutthe.o |
. If this runs properly, try to bring up your interface manually with | Code: | | ifconfig yourargumentshere see man page |
If you can bring up your interface with ifconfig, then edit the /etc/conf.d/net configuration file. This is what net-setup does for you, but it's just as easy to directly edit the configfile.
If you can't get it to work now, please let me know how far you got, and describe the error message as detailed as possible, for then it will be much easier to help you...
regards,
-parity

Similar problem:
After the first reboot, I can ping everything on my home network (192.168.x.x), but nothing on the outside world. DNS works fine if it's in my hosts file, otherwise "unknown host".
Originally I had used net-setup and everything worked fine. I tried typing in the "route add -net default gw $GTWAY netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1 $IFACE" line and everything works fine. Rebooted and I'm back to no outside internet access. I'm sure that line has to go in some config file, just not sure which one and where in it and if it has to be changed in any way. |

Hey... ok this is an easy one...
| Quote: |
# For setting the default gateway
#
gateway="eth0/192.168.0.10"
|
This is from my /etc/conf.d/net file.
What this does is setting the default gateway for my eth0 to 192.168.0.10 which is the router in my lan.
This should do the trick for you...
hope this helped you...

That did it. When I scrolled to the bottom of the file to add that in, I saw it was already there but commented out. That'll teach me to skim the whole file from now on...
Thanks. |

particleman14, what kind of a connection do you have? ADSL, cable, over a router?
you have to know which ethernet card you have in order to choose the right module 
hope you get the thing solved out ASAP

Did you copy resolv.conf during installation? Could that be the culprit?
