1 After reading the comments at the top of the /etc/conf.d/net, a blank file will automatically use DHCP for any net.* scripts in /etc/init.d, so I commented out all the parameters that I'd added. The file then matches the one in the livecd boot-up that I used to install the OS.

3 For the /etc/resolv.conf file, I have:
4 search belkin
5 nameserver 192.168.2.1
6 nameserver 207.69.188.185
7 nameserver 207.69.188.186
8 nameserver 207.69.188.187
9
10 route -n returns
11 Kernel IP routing table
12 Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
13 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
14 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
15 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
16
17 Comparing this with the equivalent working connection via my Mandriva Linux boot-up, /etc/resolv.conf is the same, but route -n returns
18 Kernel IP routing table
19 Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
20 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 10 0 0 eth0
21 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 10 0 0 eth0
22 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
23 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 10 0 0 eth0
24
25 The main difference is that the metric column is all 0 on my non-working install, and I'm missing the 169.254.0.0 row from route -n
26
27 I'm not using genkernel. Is it possible that a kernel misconfiguration is responsible for the problems I'm having?
