Thanks, Richard Does your resolve.conf start with "# Generated by net-scripts for interface"? If yes, then check /etc/conf.d/net for something like dns_servers_eth0=( "62.148.128.1 62.148.128.22" ) -- Andrei Gerasimenko -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Do you have your dns configuration correct? please check you /etc/resolv.conf file. Does your DHCP server send nameserver to the client? Thanks for your reply. When the interface is up /etc/resolv.conf has a name change to /etc/resolve.conf-eth2.sv and contains the following: # Generated by dhcpcd for interface eth0 nameserver 61.9.208.14 nameserver 61.9.208.15 Which is the primary and secondary DNS on my cable modem for Telstra. So I guess the DHCP server is sending the nameserver info. Still no go ... Regards, Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If you just did emerge --sync, the problem that you have was not caused by this command. Do you have your dns configuration correct? please check you /etc/resolv.conf file. Does your DHCP server send nameserver to the client? 2007/2/3, Richard Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi - After a last emerge --sync I've been having trouble accessing the internet.
