Since route and other things *are* getting set, I have the same strong suspicion Bill and YoYo have... DNS is likely not getting set properly in /etc/resolv.conf and, barring that, something may be amiss with routing itself, which would be far less likely, but would be exposed by YoYo's recommendations there. As for why it works if handled very early, but not if brought up later, that seems odd to me, but... "saved a bunch of likely files across the partition from ubuntu" ... did that include dropping them into place on the Gentoo side, and was resolv.conf included in that? -- Joshua M. Murphy
