No internet [Solved! 8139too]

[crazedmodder]

Well, as the title says, I can't seem to connect to the internet with gentoo. It works on the LiveCD, and on WindowsXP (which is misbehaving now, like usual) but not after the install. During boot it says
*Bringing eth0 up
(it looks like it crashed here, after about 20-25 seconds)
*Failed to bring eth0 up
*ERROR: Problem starting needed services "netmount" was not started

Heres's a list of things I've tried:
#1-
lsmod, it gives me 8139too, mii, isa-pnp (i dont have isa...) and usb,floppy, ieee1394 stuff.
I tried compiling the 8139too directly into the kernel and as a module.
#2-
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop, start and restart. It never works.
#3-
ifconfig shows only loopback
#4-
ifconfig eth0 up does nothing
#5-
I emerged rp-pppoe
#6-
adsl-setup killed my liveCD internet after chroot

So what could it be? It worked on slackware with the 2.4.20 kernel.
I have a router that takes care of the username and password
I set my hostname and domainname
My /etc/hosts has:
127.0.0.1 localhost orangedemon
/etc/conf.d/net has iface_eth0="dhcp"

Thank you so much

Before all, did you put your gateways?

#route add default gw [gateway ip]

I don't know if with DHCP you have to put this but I'm quite sure.

Then probabli you need another module for your network card. Are you sure that your network card chipset is a Realtek?

You could try to give an ip to your network card whith ifconfig:

#ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.x netmask 255.255.255.0

Put a number instead of the x, but be sure that it is diferent to all ips of your network. (I supose that you know what i mean)

Be sure that the ip which you are asigning to your network card concerns whit the router's network address, I mean the 192.168.1.x.

Sounds like a DHCP problem

Comment out the standard dhcpcd_eth?="..." line in /etc/conf.d/net if you've uncommented it as the ... causes the client to bork.

How would I figure out my gateway IP? Also, I thought I didn't have to put anything for my IP because it's dynamic

Thanks

**Edit**
just saw your post uberlord, I'll try it soon. Gotta go study

It was already commented out

Won't let em add a default gateway either, says the file already exists

NO WAY!!! My net card doesn't work with ACPI. It works fine on 2.4.21 and 2.4.22 fine, darn!

Thanks a lot for helping guys
