I just downloaded the Gentoo Live-CD ,, 1.4.
And when i have done:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.51 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
and
route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1

Can you ping by IP? Perhaps the name isn't resolving.

The kernel on the boot cd has support for your card built in - what does dmesg say in regards to the network card?
