Ok, this is wierd...I started going through the Gentoo directions for installing Alsa. In it I was supposed to rmmod any sound modules installed. The ones I removed are:
snd-ens1371
snd-pcm
snd-page-alloc
snd-timer
snd-rawmidi
snd-seq-device
snd-ac97-codec
snd
soundcore
snd-pcm-oss
snd-mixer-oss
I don't see how any of these would affect my eth0, but it was when I rebooted after that when I could no longer connect. I tried "/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start" but it came back saying "Failed to bring eth0 up"
Does anyone have any ideas I could try? Help!!!

I checked the following things:
/lib/modules/kernel****/kernel/drivers contains my network card (3c59x)
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 the driver was there, but it was commented out (I didn't do it knowingly)
rc-update add net.eth0 default this seemed to go ok, but the module still doesn't load at startup--it tries but fails |

| Did you do an etc-update? Just uncomment the line and reboot it should work if you can load the module by hand |

this happened to me too... i specified the ip address info and gateway info in /etc/conf.d/net and it was ok... it breaks again if i use dhcp...
i emerged baselayout on the 11th and i did etc-update. that's when the problem started. |

This happened to me too when I emerged baselayout.
What I did to fix this was to change the line 66 in /etc/init.d/net.eth0 from
| Code: | | if [ "${carrier_IFACE}" = "running" ] |
to
| Code: | | if [ "${carrier_IFACE}" != "running" ] |

Happened to me too and indeed that solution works. However, shouldn't these scripts be tested before going to rsync?
Oh well, it's working now... 
Best regards,
Paulo

Thanks everyone for the ideas, many of which I never thought of....I just ended up recompiling my kernel, and it worked. Probably a problem with the PEBKAC system  |
