Namely: Web browsers and IM apps mostly work, rsync,svn git and some telnet and ftp apps mostly don't. In MS Windows almost always all work just fine. The solution for me was to find out in the router itself what are the dns servers that it uses and configure them in the system, either in resolv.conf or in conf.d/net . Hope it helps.
Indeed, it works for me as well :-) Thank you Marco -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
