You forgot to make a link of net.eth0 -

ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.eth0

Alternatively you can use Networkmanager (with nm-applet).

I tried that and I get (ln: failed to make symbolic link '/etc/init.d/net.eth0' no such file or directory).
I tried sym link earlier. It looks to me that in /etc/init.d/ there should be a run script net.lo or net something?

No net.lo in /etc/init.d/ it is just there. Is there any work around? It was working.

Merged two threads by ckegman69 that are a help request on the same issue. ckegman69, please don't cross-post.

no such file or directory. same error for both commands. I go do a emerge and get mask error (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
I have network connection, so I can't get to portage. I don't know what happened. I was away for computer for a while and
little kids and you know how that can be. they could of been messing around. I just don't get it.

First thanks for your help, you guys do a great job

I did a work around. I pulled stage3 tarball down from another computer. then cp to cd-r, then copied over to /etc/ini.d/ . rc'd it and it saw file and it put it in runlevel. thanks again

I think remerging openrc is a good idea.
