so i checked /etc/conf.d/net and it is set for dhcp.

When I boot up EvoX gets a the proper dhcp IP of 192.168.1.101. I can ftp into the box no problem.

Problem is when I launch GentooX, it loads as 192.168.1.13. Whats going on?

can you ftp / ssh into 192.168.1.13 after gentoox boots up.

after several reboots it was still doing it. I then did a cold boot and now its working fine. So I dunno, but it seems to be ok now.

Try running dhcpcd after Gentoox boots up.

Yep, dhcpcd is the linux dhcp client. Instead of:

Code: Select all

ipconfig /renew
use

Code: Select all

dhcpcd <interface>
ie.

Code: Select all

dhcpcd eth0
