 Do this;
 /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
 - verify the interface is down, if its not maybe just 'ifconfig eth0 down' it
 /etc/init.d/net.eth0 zap
 /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start

A reboot cured the problem... It now works like one would expect.

 So what is the correct procedure here?

 Did you try

 # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 zap

It has no effect whatsoever:

  root # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 zap
  * Manually resetting net.eth0 to stopped state

(In fact it is not stopped I can ping www.gentoo)

  root # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
   * ERROR: net.eth0 has been started by something else

  root # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
   * WARNING: net.eth0 is already stopped

(In fact it is not stopped... ping works)

All the while netstat and ifconfig report eth0 to be up and in fact a
viable connection is in place throughout.
