Sabayon (Gentoo based) does not see my modem

**ricemark20** · 08-17-2007

I can't connect to the internet in Sabayon 3.4.
I have a Realtek RTL8139/810x network card, and a Comcast Arris cable modem. I tried to log onto 192.168.100.1 (the modem) with no luck. I get the message that I can't connect to the network. I can connect just fine in Windows, but I want to stay in Linux.

Do you have the correct module (8139too) loading? Check it with lsmod. These cards have drivers built-in to the kernel.

**ricemark20** · 08-20-2007

that module is loaded. Here is a partial list of lsmod:

Code:

8139too                25696  0
snd_usb_audio          75296  0
snd_usb_lib            15520  1 
snd_usb_audio
snd_ca0106             31648  0
analog                 10976  0 
snd_hwdep               8964  1 
snd_usb_audio_gspca   644304  0
snd_rawmidi            22752  4 
8139cp                 21984  0

Also, I entered

Code:

dhcpcd eth0

and got

Code:

Error, eth0: timed out

Have you tried
ifconfig eth0 up
dhcpd eth0
