Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo not starting with eth0, router not giving IP
What kind of router is it? I'm assuming you are running dhcpd on your router, can you access it from windows and check if dhcpd is enabled? -- #Joseph On Tue, 2007-01-23 at 18:51 -0500, Samuel Baldwin wrote: > Hello. > > Recently after rebooting from Windows to Gentoo, I noticed I had no > internet access. > My router, which is set to give my mac address the same IP > (192.168.0.104), seems to > have decided NOT to do this anymore.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo not starting with eth0, router not giving IP
What kind of router is it? It's a DX-E401 check if dhcpd is enabled? Yeah, it's running. However, it's setup to give me a static local IP to my mac address, but that shouldn't matter, since It's been like that long before the problem started. The only thing new that I can think of is the introduction of a switch to the network, between me and the router. I don't think that should cause any problems, as it's serving Windows and my OpenBSD server just fine, but I'm going to try taking it out of the loop and see if Linux will get an IP. -- Samuel (shardz) Shardz's Igloo: shardz.homelinux.net Registered Linux User #410639 amarok.kde.org defectivebydesign.org usmc.mil
RE: [gentoo-user] Gentoo not starting with eth0, router not giving IP
Recently after rebooting from Windows to Gentoo, I noticed I had no internet access. My router, which is set to give my mac address the same IP (192.168.0.104), seems to have decided NOT to do this anymore. Nothing has changed in my settings on either my computer or the router. I get the same thing for every OS (Gentoo LiveCD, Gentoo installed, SuSE installed) besides windows. I'm totally stumped. Sometimes eth0 gets enabled at startup but gets no IP (SuSE), other times (Gentoo & Gentoo LiveCD) it doesn't and I have to run ifconfig eth0 up. Running "route add eth0 192.168.0.1" returns "eth0: Host name lookup failure" Does the system have link? Depending on the driver, you may have to use "mii-daig eth0" or "ethtool eth0" to show that. If you dont have link you either have a dead cable, dead port on the router or dead NIC. The route is of no use until you can get your DHCP stuff sorted out. BTW, the format of the command you've shown is incorrect; I use "route add default gw ", but until you can ping the gateway there's no point in adding the route. HTH, Adam
