| Try using different mirror. Post your make.conf too. |

Are you sure that your network is working? Try to ping www.gentoo.org and then 38.99.64.201.

It looks like you didn't copy /etc/resolv.conf from the livecd to /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf. This is in Section 6.a. Chrooting under Copy DNS Info. I'll assume that you are using one of the amd64 install discs. Switch to another console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Fx (F1,F2,F3,etc.), log in, and run the command listed in the handbook: cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
Change back to the console you were using(which should be the one where you have run chroot) and try to emerge gentoo-sources again |

Hi, im having the exact same problem but when i type the command again in a different console, I get this: cp: cannot stat `/etc/resolve.conf' : No such file or directory
Any ideas? |

Probably means you have the source file and destination file mixed up in your cp syntax:
| Code: | | cp [source file] [destination file] |
Also, make sure you aren't chrooted into the gentoo install when running the cp! That would give you a "no such file" error.
EDIT: noticed your error said "cannot stat '/etc/resolve.conf'." In case that is the actual error (and not just your hand being too used to typing "resolve"), you want "resolv," not "resolve."

cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
it can work only on cd boot before chroot
/etc/resolv.conf will not exist
