Hi,<br>I have a problem with my ehternet connection and would be pleased if someone could help me:<br><br>I emerged some things (don&#39;t ask me what exactly...) and am unable to ping anything now.<br><br>The ip-address and co. are alright, I can just boot another operating system on my pc (sabayon or windows) and eth0 is working fine using the same configuration.
<br><br>Ifconfig eth0 gives me this:<br><br>Link encap:<br><br>UNSPEC HWaddr 44-4F-C0-00-14-31-AC-10-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00<br>inet addr:<a href="http://192.168.0.45">192.168.0.45</a>&nbsp; Bcast:<a href="http://192.168.0.255">
192.168.0.255</a>&nbsp; Mask:<a href="http://255.255.255.0">255.255.255.0</a><br>UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST&nbsp; MTU:1500&nbsp; Metric:1<br>RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0<br>TX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
<br>collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000<br>RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:72 (72.0 b)<br><br>I&#39;m pretty sure the Mac-Addr is too long.. that&#39;s weird,<br>Also, when using Sabayon, the first line differs: &quot;Link encap:ether&quot; and the mac is correct
<br><br>I tried to change the mac with:<br>ifconfig eth0 hw ether 10:20:30:40:50:60<br>but then, I get th following:<br>SIOCSIFHWADDR: Invalid argument<br><br>Very strange: I have two independend pcs and BOTH of them have the same problem meanwhile!
<br><br>Any ideas?<br>
