I had no problems connecting to the Internet while booted to the Gentoo Live CD, but when I booted up into Linux and logged into root, it did not let me. I showed it to a friend, who edited my /etc/conf.d/net file to include

Code:

iface_eth0="dhcp" #what I originally had
dhcpcd_eth0="-HD"

iface_eth1="dhcp" #added by my friend
dhcpcd_eth1="-HD"

Sure enough, it found it.

I have a wireless card on there, so I'm assuming that when I rebooted it found it first and made it eth0? Why would it work when I'm on the Gentoo Live CD, but not when I'm booted and root'd in?

the default interface names depend on the order the relevant drivers are loaded which is likely different on the livecd and your system.
