It seems to me that you don't have the network start script(s) activated. Try executing: rc-update add net.eth0 default You should replace "eth0" with the name of your link. The gentoo way to: - start a service is: "/etc/init.d/<service-name> start" For example: /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start - stop a service is: "/etc/init.d/<service-name> stop" For example: /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop - make a service auto-start during boot is: "rc-update add <service-name> <run-level>" For example: rc-update add net.eth0 default - prevent a service from auto-starting during boot is: "rc-update del <service-name>" For example: rc-update del net.eth0 default -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
