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. PaulNM -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
