I'm trying to install Gentoo 2006.0 AMD64, on a brand-new AMD64 machine, |
2 |
system specs are below: |
3 |
|
4 |
CPU: AMD ATHLON-64 3200+ 939 pin |
5 |
RAM: 1024MB (two 512mb sticks), PC-3200/400 |
6 |
NETWORK CARD: 10/100MBPS RJ-45 integrated |
7 |
160GB UDMA SATA HD |
8 |
300GB HD (EIDE, ATA) |
9 |
|
10 |
Temperatures check out at system: 28C and cpu: 31C, so I don't think it's an |
11 |
overheating problem. |
12 |
|
13 |
I'm set up in an office, my IP needs to be 10.0.0.100, Gateway is 10.0.0.1, |
14 |
and DNC is 10.0.0.221. No proxies, just need those specific things. I tried |
15 |
running "net-setup eth0", which worked, untill I tried to ping |
16 |
www.google.com, and 10.0.0.1 (and other computers in my workplace). |
17 |
|
18 |
When I run ifconfig, I get this: |
19 |
lo Link encap:Local Loopback |
20 |
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 |
21 |
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 |
22 |
RX Packets:28 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 |
23 |
TX Packets:28 errors:0 dropped:2 overruns:0 carrier:0 |
24 |
collisions: 0 txqueuelen: 0 |
25 |
RX bytes: 3080 (3.0 KB) TX bytes:3080 (3.0kb) |
26 |
|
27 |
Which doesn't look shabby, except for the dropped:2. But otherwise, to me, |
28 |
it looks like it would work (I'm no expert anyways, as you have no doubt |
29 |
determined) |
30 |
|
31 |
When I run "ping 10.0.0.1" (I stop with ^C), I get THIS: |
32 |
PING 10.0.0.1 (10.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. |
33 |
From 10.0.0.100 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable |
34 |

35 |

36 |

37 |

38 |
From 10.0.0.100 icmp_seq=7 Destination Host Unreachable |
39 |
^C |
40 |
--- 10.0.0.1 ping statistics --- |
41 |
9 packets transmitted, 0 recieved, +6 errors, 100% packet loss, time 8010ms |
42 |
, pipe 3 |
43 |
livecd root # |
44 |
|
45 |
Which, on the other hand, does not look so good. I've already tried |
46 |
"ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR}.....", and the like. |
47 |
|
48 |
Please, if anyone has some insight, please share it with me. I've got an |
49 |
abundance of other ethernet cards, if it sounds like this is a hardware |
50 |
error. I'd very much like to install Gentoo (I have a universal disk, I know |
51 |
I can do a networkless installation). Eventually, when I return home, I can |
52 |
use dhcp, but not for a few days, and I much rather have my computer running |
53 |
by then. |
54 |
|
55 |
Also, does anyone know of a tool that allows you to play audio from a |
56 |
terminal? Basically, sending audio to standard audio out? I'd like to be |
57 |
able to listen to music (all .ogg and .mp3, if it makes a difference), while |
58 |
in runlevel 3. This is a side comment, and do not waste time answering |
59 |
this/looking it up if you don't know off hand. |
60 |
|
61 |
Thanks a metric ton, |
