Also all net hotplug services are turned of in rc.conf. route -n shows nothing except ppp0 (this is from ubuntu, but it was the same for gentoo when it was working) root@gnubu:~# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 161.184.0.199 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 (also from the ubuntu side) root@gnubu:~# ifconfig ppp0 ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:161.184.44.73 P-t-P:161.184.0.199 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5867 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6439 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:1694892 (1.6 MB) TX bytes:746705 (746.7 KB) ifconfig eth0 and wlan0 are empty because I rmmod'd the drivers. I only use them when talking to the router or another pc on a lan, I set them up manually and take them down when not in use. Otherwise the web is unreachable. This true for Ubuntu and gentoo. There is no firewall as far as I know. MW
