Network Problems

sorry I am accessing the internet from an old laptop, where the keyboard doesn't work properly. So I will type it out.

eth0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-20-00-00-00-00-31-AC-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

RX bytes:0 (0.0 Mb) TX bytes:0 (0.0 Mb)
Interrupt:18 Base address:0x4000

lo Link encap:Local Loopback

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

???? Changed since i rebooted it? Also netmount fails on startup along with ssh.

Thanks

The other wierd thing is that lspci sees my nic

here is what it says

00:6.0 EthernetController: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)


I also run a comcast cable modem to a Linksys broadband wireless router.


I have put the appropriate nameservers in?

Thanks

You need to make sure your /etc/resolv.conf is set up, also you don't seem to have the correct startup for eth0, you'll have to fix that in your /etc/conf.d/net. Post that here, if you use DHCP it should look something like:

config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis"

Also make sure you added net.eth0 to the default runlevel like so.

rc-update add net.eth0 default

Your /etc/resolv.conf should be correct though if you have the correct nameservers entered into your router, just in case enter them manually into /etc/resolv.conf in this format

nameserver X.X.X.X

After you've double checked all these make sure your kernel is compiled with the correct options, etc.

sorry for the late response, but my whole compter died? I don't know if the problems are related, but my compter will not boot on any of the three drives. It was running just fine on Windows 2003 server, then it locked up and I haven't been able to get Windows 2003 server, Vista, or Gentoo back up and running. The monitor will not turn on, and I have way to too much homework to deal with it, so I am going to work on my laptop until I can buy new parts to make a new computer. I appreciate the help and will be talking to you guys just after I get all the necessary parts.

Thanks for all the help up to this point.
