I have it now, :)
In fact I had played around with /etc/conf.d/net and must have had the correct info in there,
because when I did "rc-update add net.eth0 default" it just worked,
I have had another (quick) read through the Gentoo install handbook "chap 3 Configuring your network"
and I can find no mention of this command.
I'm pretty green when it comes to anything networking, or in fact Gentoo, and wouldn't have figured it without your help,
Thanks again, Brian Connell

I have recently installed and upgraded Gentoo using a network install, and I now have most of my hardware/software configured and working :)
However to get my cable modem to work I have to type at the prompt as root ............
ifconfig eth0 "static ip " netmask 255.255.255.0 route add -net default.... etc ......etc,
This works fine, but gets a bit tedious everytime I startup.
for sure, surprised you got through the install without picking this up...
edit /etc/conf.d/net
there are sample entries there.
then:
rc-update add net.eth0 default
should do it :-)
Is there a way I could have this load at boot time, and if so, could someone explain how I would do this ?
Thanks,
Brian Connell.
