Server not found after networkmanager emerge after every boot

[frank56]

I had a good internet connection until right after emerging networkmanager. I can get connection going by doing some of the following. Typing either commands get my connection going"

dhcpcd eth0

Do you have a "gateway" set? As root use the command

netstat -rn

to see if you have a line such as

0.0.0.0         192.168.1.XXX    0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eth0

If this set can you ping 192.168.1.XXX?
If yes, you have a network connection, so maybe you do not have name server defined. Check again as root via:

cat /etc/resolve.conf

This should contain from 1 to 3 lines that start with "nameserver". if not, edit the file with an editor of your choice (I prefer gvim) to add the line

nameserver 8.8.8.8

Which adds the "google DNS server".

Try to access a point outside of your computer again.

Alf 55 I am beginning to wonder if I have a problem. I have the two monitor icons in upper right of screen...systems tray? I can turn network on and off by right clickon on that icon, and checking or unchecking...ENABLE NETWORKING. What I was expecting was automatic network connection when I log on, but maybe that is not even default behavior. I have Gnome Desktop. I guess, I think I have a broke system, and IT IS NOT...broke that is.

I think I stated my problem incorrectly. It should be error on reboot or error after hitting ctr alt + F2. Here is what I see after I do that:

Starting eth0. Configuration not set for eth0 - assuming DHCP
DHCPD [3761] : already running on pid 3225 (var/run/dhcpcd-eth0.pid)
error: cannot start dhcdbd as net.eth0 could not start

I do not see any error on boot up screen, but I do not have any kind of boot log. I do see error flash on reboot, but its hard to read it. In spite of all this I have a good internet connection passed all the tests you suggested Alf55.

The console control keys:

control-s ==== pause output
control-q ==== resume output

These should also work in your terminal when in X.

This is a dumb question, but do I hold control key than the - key than the S key, or do I type control-s ==== than pause output in a root terminal ?
