1 Hello.
2
3 Recently after rebooting from Windows to Gentoo, I noticed I had no internet
4 access.
5 My router, which is set to give my mac address the same IP (192.168.0.104),
6 seems to
7 have decided NOT to do this anymore. Nothing has changed in my settings on
8 either my computer
9 or the router. I get the same thing for every OS (Gentoo LiveCD, Gentoo
10 installed, SuSE installed)
11 besides windows. I'm totally stumped. Sometimes eth0 gets enabled at startup
12 but gets no IP (SuSE),
13 other times (Gentoo & Gentoo LiveCD) it doesn't and I have to run ifconfig
14 eth0 up.
15
16 Running "route add eth0 192.168.0.1" returns "eth0: Host name lookup
17 failure"
18
19 ifconfig returns:
