Hi, I added the nameservers during the eth0 configuration process (using 'net-setup eth0' and selecting the static IP option), and i was able to ping 'www.yahoo.com', etc. However, 'emerge sync' still gives me the same error message, even after i edited /etc/resolv.conf using nano. Here is the exact copy of what was in /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 209.104.63.241 nameserver 209.104.63.240 Is this how it should look?
