[gentoo-user] Internet not working after instillition

[Harbir Singh Hundal]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 708 bytes --]

  Hi!
  
I have build the system, with kernel-2.6, and during the instillation I have emerged dhcpcd, but my internet is not working.

When I do # ifconfig I can see the assigned IP 192.168.0.2 for eth0, and I am using a router as a gateway with address 192.168.0.1

 

I am able to ping 192.168.0.1, but when I try to ping www.google.com or any other site it gives the message "unknown Host".

 

I don’t know what to do now, any sort of help will be appreciated.

 

Thank you

Harbir

It would seem to me that your DHCP server is not set correctly.  Can you
post your /etc/resolv.conf?  That would help.  Also, try pinging
216.239.51.99.  This is the IP of www.google.com.

Thanx for the reply.

I think there is some problem with my resolv.com

the contents of my  resolv.conf file are:

domain homemetwork

Please let me know what should be comming here.
I think I need to put the gateway address here.

Actually the DNS info goes in that file.  You may can just copy that
over from another machine but you should set it up so that it gets them
from the machine that connects to the internet.  You may want to read
/etc/conf.d/net.example to see if one of the examples in there applies
to you.  If one does, copy only the parts you need to /etc/conf.d/net. 

Also, don't forget to try to ping as requested in the previous email. 
That will let the list know if the rest of the network is working
correctly.  It may not work and that may be why it is not getting the
DNS automatically, as it should.

Please tell a bit about your network infrastructure. When there's a
DHCP server running: Did you set it up? Is it built into a router of
some kind? What are the router's DNS settings? The DHCP server is
supposed to provide valid DNS servers, too. So it probably doesn't at
the moment, and dhcpcd clears /etc/resolv.conf. You can prevent that
with the "-R" switch to dhcpcd. I think there is even an example
in /etc/conf.d/net.example that tells you how to persistently set this
flag. However, I'd prefer to set up the router (i.e. its DHCP server)
correctly to provide valid DNS servers.

Steps to manually set up a network device with dhcpcd
# dhcpcd eth0
# echo "search mynetwork.net
nameserver 192.168.0.1
" > /etc/resolv.conf

You would want to replace mynetwork.net and 192.168.0.1 with
appropriate values for your domain and nameserver, respectively.
