I do have internet access and I am writing this email from the same
machine. It doesn't matter what package or when i get this error all the
time. Even on the other mirrors for the package.
Well, for some reason dns lookup for those sites fail. What happens
when you put distfiles.gentoo.org in a web browser? You could also try
pinging the repositories first, and if they get though, try emerge
again. If emerge still fails, I'd try adding them to the host file with
whatever ip you get from pinging as a workaround.
