You shouldn't need to copy it again unless your DNS servers changed recently.

What do you get for results from these commands :

ahh thanks for the helpp turns out when i did cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf

i accidently put a "E" on the second resolv.conf....so it was looking for a file that wasnt there. but i renamed it so its doin its thing now....thanks again.
