My ISP seems to have adopted IPv6 and this has led to Gentoo longer connect to the Internet.
In the boot he says that the mentioned protocol is not configured into the kernel (using genkernel).
Dhcp also try to find a ipv4 address and ends up putting the wrong.
Conclusion I'm not connected to the Internet: Could you suggest a solution?
Clarify that Windows and already have tried the IPv4 address that is mentioned there and default gateway and netmask, all according to the Gentoo Handbook.
From now I appreciate any help you can give me.
You have to add IPv6 support to the kernel.
It is better to configure the kernel manually.
You can still use genkernel. Just run it as "genkernel --menuconfig". Type a slash '/' then IPV6. That should tell you where to find it (not tested, I'm on a Windows machine right now). Or just scroll through the networking menu. I think it shows up fairly early. While in there, shut off stuff you know you don't use like outre filesystems (I'm assuming) and hardware you definitely don't have.
No need to tediously copy files, build the initrd and manually edit your grub configuration. Let genkernel do the grunt work.
genkernel is nice but its a dead end in the long run.
you will never learn how to configure a kernel and you will never be able to troubleshoot the kernel itself.

I managed to add to the kernel support IPV6, therefore, does not fail, but it takes a wrong direction, as with IPv4.
In conclusion, dhcp does not work despite having support for IPV6.
I think the lack IPV6 address but do not know how to put it.
You can also get the adress by DHCP.
It does receive a fixed address, but that's because I've instructed the router, vua it's GUI, to always assign 192.168.0.100 to my MAC address.
If you have one of those cable modems with a builtin router controlled by your cable company, I advise you to buy your own router. It's too important to your security to let strangers provision it.
Since Windows is working, what does Windows have in Internet Connections -> properties -> Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) -> properties?

I use too linux mint and all is all right.
Before using dhcp and all ok until yesterday that I noticed the change.
Looking at this and thinking that you have that garbage udev persistant names turned on and your device is en01 (note number 0 not letter o).
I think on your machine it will say en01 instead of eth0 (like it SHOULD. OK, done ranting. If indeed it says en01 then make the file change i showed above and run "/etc/init.d/net.en01 restart". You should see messages to the effect that dhcp is assigning addresses. Try "ping www.google.com" if it says it can't find www.google.com try "ping 8.8.8", if that does work that DNS is screwed up. but first things first.
4. report back if it worked or error messages if it didn't.

I installed networkmanager removing previously dhcpcd and all ok.
My bad. It's four 8's of course. You should get aresponse from ping www.google.com. if not ping 8.8.8.8 If you get a response from ip address but not not from url, then DNS is bad. If no response from pinging by ip address, ten you are not connected to the internet.
