Sounds like you aren't getting to a nameserver. Check /etc/resolv.conf and make sure there are 1 or more entries for a pingable nameserver: It should say something like nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx If it does, try ping the ip numbers listed. If that works then the problem is else where. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
