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

Does the system have link? Depending on the driver, you may have to use |
| 18 |
"mii-daig eth0" or "ethtool eth0" to show that. If you dont have link |
| 19 |
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. |
| 22 |
BTW, the format of the command you've shown is incorrect; |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I use "route add default gw <ip address of gateway>", but until you can |
| 25 |
ping the gateway there's no point in adding the route. |
