I don't understand one thing and IO hope you would explain it to me. When I booted gentoo from livecd in vmware, the network was working just fine. And when I booted gentoo (already installed) I configured the same options as in livecd and it didn't work. So why it would be that poblem: make sure that the virtual IP address of your virtual Gentoo installation is on a different subnet from your actual private IP addresses.

Hmmm, can somebody explain it to me?

I've always had bad luck with multiple NATs when they all use IP addresses in the same subnet (say, 192.168.2.X). I'm really not sure how VMware sets this up by default, but I'd guess that this has something to do with your problem. Just a thought.
