I am in the initial stages of the installation, trying to do 'emerge sync'. So, i haven't had a chance to enable socket filtering yet. Is it possible to install just from the CD, and enable socket filtering first? I also tried using static IP, but still have the same problem. I was also told to activate eth0 and eth1 using the command 'ifup eth0' and 'ifup eth1', but i get the error message 'ifup: command not found'. Any ideas?
