I have my connection set to get an ip using dhcp and this works. However if I try to use a static ip, by setting it in /etc/conf.d/net, it doesn't work, even if I try the ip I have been given by the dhcp server. Nor does it work with an ip obtained using apipa. I can ping other parts of the local network but not out onto the internet.
the config I have in /etc/conf.d/net is : config_eth0=( "192.168.1.14 netmask 255.255.255.0" ) routes_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.1.1" ) When I run /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start I get green oks for everything, but trying to ping www.gentoo.org I get the following error, immediately: ping: unknown host www.gentoo.org Any clues as to what's up?
