network is unreachable

Hello Folks

Im trying now since 2 days to get a connection. And yes I also asked the board search, more than once.
Heres my problem

ping google.com
unknown host google.com

ping myrouter
Network is unreachable

ping 127.0.0.1
WORKS

I put in my gateway adress in the rc.conf already and set up the dhpc thing.

I think he just cant load my networkcard module and i dont know what i need.

btw hwdetect isnt working

*EDIT1*

# ifconfig eth0
gives
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST ...

shouldent there be RUNNING MULTICAST??

and

route -n

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface

Re: network is unreachable

These lines are in your /etc/rc.conf?

eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)

Also try

dhcpcd eth0

What is the FULL output of

ifconfig -a

Thanks!

Re: network is unreachable

Could you post the whole output of ifconfig eth0?

For me it does say "UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST".

Re: network is unreachable

As I see you have no routes defined (amongs others I guess). Try setting DHCP as otisranson pointed. Don't forget to add network to DAEMONS list. Also check cabling.
If the problem remain, please post the /etc/rc.conf file and FULL output of command:
ifconfig -a

He's talking about my previous post.

Try these steps:

$ /etc/rc.d/network start
$ dhcpcd eth0
$ ifconfig eth0

Now, check that you have this in your /etc/rc.conf file:

$ cat /etc/rc.conf

At the bottom your should see something like this:

DAEMONS=( ... network ... )

Make sure the network is defined in the daemons list.

Ha, yea.  Ok

You don't need "lo" in the INTERFACES line. Remove it.

Also remove the "@" from the daemons.  Then reboot.

In your daemons array:
@netork

make it:
@network

Re: network is unreachable

dhcp doesn't work for you. Try (as root):

% dhcpcd --debug --debug eth0

and paste the output here.

Re: network is unreachable

I had to give up on dhcpcd - replaced it with dhclient which worked instantly

Re: network is unreachable

I tried around a bit and i think the problem is my network card. Furthermore the module, I don't know which module i should use.

Re: network is unreachable

That is the behavior I am getting when the ethernet cable is unplugged.

So your initial idea that the driver for your networkcard isn't loaded looks pretty good now. Are there any error messages under /var/log? Also, which network card do you have?

Re: network is unreachable

After I had rebooted I lost the connection.

It was workng after I tried this:

Ha, yea.  Ok

Code:
.
.
.
.
#Static IP example
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)

You don't need "lo" in the INTERFACES line. Remove it.

Also remove the "@" from the daemons.  Then reboot.

But now i have the same as before.

Re: network is unreachable

Yehaaa, I got it now.
Thanks a lot guys.

Now I have only a little problem left.
If I want a Internet connection I have to type in dhcpcd eth0. What can I do to get it automatically?

You eally saved my day

P.S. should I write what exactly I had done. perhaps for people who have the same problem???
