If the LFS install is running, you can install Gentoo from within that (see the Alternative Installation Guide at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/altinstall.xml ). In that case, you can just download whatever Stage file you need, without need for the LiveCD at all. Or you could boot the Live CD from a networked machine (I assume you have two network cards for a reason, so they must connect to something :) ) and run the Live CD from that, I think-- I don't know how to do a network install, but I'm sure there must be a way.
