network problem

[jan1024188]

i have netgear router with DHCP...so everything works fine in all distros.But i gentoo i have some problems.
when typing

ping www.google.com

i get err

hostname not found

i also cat use mozilla

i have to set conection manualy....but how????i dont even know my IP adresses

[apoorv_khurasia]

Do other netowrk service run properly? Specifically can you surf the net and all?

[jan1024188]

nooooooo...im without net

[apoorv_khurasia]

So I would like to recommend this. This is the gentoo handbook chapter on making basic system configurations work (like fstab, net and all). If that does not work please do post. I hope that solves your problem. Good Luck!!!

i've tryed

emerge dhcpcd

but it failed

what should i do?

please help

[apoorv_khurasia]

It will of course fail as your net is not working. You will have to fetch the sources required from somewhere and place them all in /usr/portage/distfiles or wherever $DISTDIR in /etc/make.conf points to.

You can chroot from a linux live cd or from another distro and emerge dhcpd from there
