Normally, when i watched my system booting, i saw something like '* Bringing eth0 up by DHCPD [OK]' . This line is no longer there, allthough net.eth0 is in my default runlevel, and when I start it manually i see this. Besides, net.eth0 doesn't apear in rc-status [directly after booting]... . I've allready tried removing and readding eth0 to the default runlevel, well I eaven tried to add it to the boot runlevel - without sucess, it doesn't show up during boot, and i've to restart the script manually sometimes to get a working connection to the internet. Is it possible that it conficts with another script ? antonio -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] sometimes internet works only after /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
Best guess, I would say that you need to increase your dhcpcd timeout. You are probably not getting a response from your DHCP server in the time allowed. You could also try setting up ifplugd. If nothing else, it would allow your users to reset the network by removing and reinserting the network cable. -Richard Antonio Coralles wrote: >Sometimes [about 1 in 3 times] my internet connection does not work >directly after booting.

When unplugging them, it can happen that my keyboard and DSL-connection are dead. You also have hotplug in your runlevels; maybe something weird goes on on your machine, too. In my case, the problem seems to be that both my usb-audio-cards doe register as 'human input device' on the bus. THe manufacturers do so to prevent windows to load its generic usb-audio-driver :( .

Before restarting net.eth0, check to see if you are properly receiving an IP address from a DHCP server, if not using static IP addressing Michael Turcotte Information Systems City of North Bay 200 McIntyre St. E PO Box 360 North Bay, Ontario P1B 8H8 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cityofnorthbay.ca > -Original Message- > From: Antonio Coralles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 2:01 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [gentoo-user] sometimes internet works only after > /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart > > Sometimes [about 1 in 3 times] my internet connection does not work > directly after booting.
