Ok
/sbin/route -n returns:
| Code: | Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use iface
182.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
|
And /sbin/ifconfig eth0 gives me:
| Code: | eth0 Link encap:Ethernet Hwaddr 00:E0:29:6A:BC:78
inet addr:192.168.0.3 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

After messing with my resolv.conf file, I returned it to what it was before, which is:
| Code: | domain tlang.com
nameserver 4.2.2.65
nameserver 4.2.2.5
nameserver 4.2.2.4 |
I backed up my other resolv.conf configs just in case... this configuration above returns the unknown host error.
And yes, I'm using DHCP which is enabled in my /etc/conf.d/net file. My router provides it... the router's ip is 192.168.0.1, this XP machine is 192.168.0.2 and the gentoo's is in the ifconfig post above.

Falcus,
You are missing your defualt route and the destination 182.168.0.0 looks wrong too.
Since you are using DHCP, every other line except the iface_eth0="dhcp" in /etc/conf.d/net should be commented out. Check this.
DHCP should even sort out yor nameserver.
Your routing table should look like this | Code: | Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0
|
To get a defualt route manually do
| Code: | | /sbin/route add default gateway 192.168.0.1 eth0 |
To get the route to the local net (192.168.0.0) do
| Quote: | | /sbin/route add 192.168.0.0/24 eth0 |
Route set up should be automatic if dhcp is set up right though.

We have liftoff...
Commenting out every line in my /etc/conf.d/net file but the dhcp line did it. I can ping, emerge, etc. Currently downloading fluxbox. =)
I can't say how thankful I am - I was at one point close to the point of taking the Window$ approach and completely reinstalling. It's such a difference to debug a problem and solving it at it's source file instead of rebooting and praying.
Thanks Neddy, and everyone else that helped, couldn't have done it without you. 
EDIT: Spoke too soon, just one more thing, when I rebooted, I got an error for eth0 that entails that eth0 does not have netmount set, and reminds me to make sure that $iface_eth0 is set. I also can't ping anything either. Do I need to make sure something starts up at each boot? Thanks yet again.

Falcus,
You need to list your ethernet kernel module in /etc/modules.autoload or eth0 won't be there when the network startup script runs.
To run the network startup script at boot you need to execute
| Code: | | rc-update add net.eth0 default |
if you have already done that, you will get an error to tell you.
Meanwhile, you can always bring up networking by hand
