Another thing that makes me wonder is that the home router guide did nothing mention about name_servers or gateways.
According to the guide this line seems to be enough: config_eth0=( "192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" ) But without the routes setting i get "network unreachable" when i try to ping: routes_eth0=("default via 192.168.0.1") and without the dns_servers setting the ip adresses are not resolved: dns_servers_eth0=("192.168.0.1" ) I have also seen the gateways setting on my searches, what is the right one routes or gateway or what is the difference. gateways_eth0="192.168.0.1" -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
