With those problems resolved, another arises. I have since moved my computer back to my house (to stay). Upon initial boot, it complained about not finding certain things (gateway, nameserver), which is obviously the fact that I'm using dhcp. I then changed the settings in /etc/conf.d/net, then rebooted. It all seemed fine, but ping, emerge, and firefox dont work for anything public, and I'm wondering if I did something wrong. I changed all the settings in /etc/conf.d/net to resemble the dhcp settings in the handbook. Is there another command/file I need to edit? -- Samuel (shardz) Noha+Shardz Productions: nsproductions.co.nr Registered Linux User #410639 amarok.kde.org usmc.mil
