Well, try to use dig (with trace) and see if there is a DNS problem. Before that you should make sure your network setup is correct (i.e. resolv.conf has the right entries)

Does the network operate otherwise? Can you get on the Internet? Did you set the system up yourself, or did Gentoo come pre-installed?

Blessed be!

Then you most likely have a problem with your /etc/resolv.conf file. Edit it to see what's in it. Here's mine as an example:
Code:
# Generated by dhcpcd for interface wlan0
nameserver 192.168.0.1


Of course, that's only helpful if you have a Dlink WBR 1310 wireless router, or some other sort of device that uses that particular IP address. If you know your Internet provider's main DNS server number, you can put that in there as well. That information should be readily accessible on your provider's site.

Good luck.

Blessed be!
Pappy
