Post by Loui »

after install Gentoox, I run adsl-setup, adsl-start,
the message showed: "..conneted"~ I am happy~ Very Happy
when i ping an IP, packet always 100% loss....
I look up on google for help, but failed... Confused

THANKS!!

I connected XBOX with hub, then connect directly to the ADSL modem,
and don't want connet through the PC.

Do you have any firewall software installed that might be preventing icmp packets? Have you tried pinging 61.223.64.254?

Looks like your default routing sends packets to 192.168.1.1. You should be able to ping 61.223.64.254 and 192.168.1.* (if you have other computers on the hub) but nothing else. You need to set up the default route to point to your gateway (I'm assuming that's 61.223.64.254, as I'm not that familiar with the way adsl works). Try:

Code: Select all

route add default gw 61.223.64.254

I'm not sure if you have to delete the existing default gw first, but if so, try:

Code: Select all

route del default gw
route add default gw 61.223.64.254
