Thoughts? jlowell -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Nick, I've solved the problem but it has nothing to do with the broadcast number and setting the gateway. Initially, changing broadcast to 192.168.1.255 and leaving the gateway setting where it has always been in /etc/conf.d/net, 192.168.1.1, gives no relief. Still can't ping the outside world. But running route add default gw 192.168.1.1 and pinging the web works. I've never had to do this before to get this box to the outside. The gateway address in /etc/conf.d/net has always been right, and frankly, I doubt if changing broadcast would have made any difference either. I can test that if you'd like. The way I read it, somehow the installation program isn't doing what it did the last time I installed gentoo. I'd appreciate knowing why it was necessary for me to run this command to fix the problem when /etc/conf.d/net was edited properly. Is this a bug? jlowell Stuffed if I know, but could you give us the exact gateway line from /etc/conf.d/net? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Hi Nick, Here's the whole of /etc/conf.d/net. Other than the "1" in broadcast it's been the same since the beginning. But changing the broadcast number hasn't meant a hill of beans of difference. # /etc/conf.d/net: # $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/conf.d/net,v 1.7 2002/11/18 19:39:22 azarah Exp $ # Global config file for net.* rc-scripts # This is basically the ifconfig argument without the ifconfig $iface # iface_eth0="192.168.1.44 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" #iface_eth1="207.170.82.202 broadcast 207.0.255.255 netmask 255.255.0.0" # For DHCP set iface_eth? to "dhcp" # For passing options to dhcpcd use dhcpcd_eth? # #iface_eth0="dhcp" #dhcpcd_eth0="..." # For adding aliases to a interface # #alias_eth0="192.168.0.3 192.168.0.4" # NB: The next is only used for aliases. # # To add a custom netmask/broadcast address to created aliases, # uncomment and change accordingly. Leave commented to assign # defaults for that interface. # #broadcast_eth0="192.168.0.255 192.168.0.255" #netmask_eth0="255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0" # For setting the default gateway # gateway="192.168.1.1" As you can see, the gateway number was entered correctly yet it's not being read that way by the system. I mean I'm perfectly happy to take the blame for this problem but I can't see what I've done wrong to justly acknowledge wrong-doing. I've installed gentoo probably 25 times over the last three years on various machines and have never encountered a need to use the route command to fix something. It may help to know that I ran the Feather Linux livecd with boot options set in such a way as to exclude a network configuration, configuring it with their graphical tool once I'd reached their desktop. Feather works using the self same configuration which leads me to conclude what is becoming more and more clear: That the problem is with gentoo, which worries me. One last question, might this be a kernel problem, a failure to check something in menuconfig? Thanks for your attention to my questions, Nick. jlowell -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Broadcast with 0 is default in /etc/conf.d/net. I've tried it both ways with no difference being made. Regards. jlowell -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I, too, thought that changing to 1 might make a difference but it doesn't. The 0 is default for /etc/conf.d/net, of course, and I've never understood why it's set that way in Gentoo. The comma is a typo and the caps the result of transcribing by hand to the mail message. Will I have access to the route command? This is a fresh install with, so far, only system packages. Again, thanks for your reply. jlowell -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The DNS entries were, in fact, entered during installation via dhcp, which is the way the livecd read my network. Checking /etc/resolv.conf, the nameserver entries there are perfectly correct for this machine. Unless the style used to enter them needs to be revised in some way, which I would doubt, they're fine. I"d tried your suggestion of pinging by number rather than address and it doesn't make any difference. Again thanks for your reply. jlowell jlowell . -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I should include some nameserver lines. dhcp sets the nameserver lines in /etc/resolv.conf, a manula setup does not. I suspect thats the problem. copy the nameserver lines from one of the dhcp workstations.

[gentoo-user] Host, Schmost!
I just completed a stage1 install from the minimal 2005.0 livecd on a box that will be used as a web server. I boot without incident, run ifconfig and get a perfectly suitable response, can ping my router successfully but, attempting to reach the web, get unknown host errors. The setup here is almost trite: Three workstations with dynamic addresses behind an ADSL router/switch which doubles as a dhcp server, and the webserver mentioned earlier with a static address outside the range authorized for dynamic service and with port 80 forwarded. I have /etc/conf.d/net with iface_eth0="192,168.1.44 Broadcast 192.168.0.255 NetMask 255.255.255.0" and gateway enabled at 192.168.1.1. /etc/resolv.conf shows proper nameserver numbers. I don't get it. The workstations all reach the web without difficulty. But the webserver, nothing but unknown host errors. This same machine was working just fine before the latest install with the very same configuration. Some help please. jlowell
