well.. as teh title says...
probs
It's kind of weird.. this is the situation:
I did an full native install.. and now I get to the step "emerge sync"
well.. it hangs @ 'checking timestamp'
now the weird thing... I can access the local network fine... no probs...
a "ping google.com" doesn't give errors
but when I "wget http://www.google.com/intl/us_us/images/logo.gif" It doesn't do that
So I can access local for 100% and internet... ping only
Any help is welcome

still same thing
Yea i am not new to linux i checked the obvious , im looking everywhere for a firewall nothing , i have xbox media center and i kind of like just increasing the funtionality of the xbox not using to surf the web but i would like to set up an ftp server or find some use for it but unless you install more which i wont do because i dont have that technical of solering skills very basics if someone can solve this problem though i may stick with gentoox but as it stands x-dsl works better , i just dont like dsl too damn small , i use it when i have a corrupted hard drive and i need to surf the web but suse 10.1 live cd is better anyways.

AHH
yea well if i can do it while remotely connected i can do that but not on my tv the picture is so bad you cant read it , i will probably get a vga adapter so i can just use it on a monitor , are iptables on in the kernel if so why would they be that makes no sence to turn on a firewall that only blocks internet , wasnt looking forward to building a new kernel either , and in all of this i have gone away from xbox-linux its useless too havwe a gui on the xbox you should just use a command line and make it a server or something remotely logging in is also pointless until they build a true xbox version with big letters and better picture , im done with it i have avalaunch and XBMC installed thats good enough i already have a pc so ill wait a while
Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that you arent alone in this issue, Im having the exact same problems with my networking/dns for my native installation.
I cannot web browse or wget a specific website (e.g. google.com), however, when I ping the address first, then I can browse the website. This effect is only temporary though..and reverts back to the original problem. If i get some time I will recompile my kernel with the instructions above with hopefully some results.
My setup at home is pretty simple, my xbox is connected via a cat5 cable to my wireless router/adsl modem combo. Ive installed other distros previous to gentoox e.g. xebian and havent had this kind of problem.
