 Hello there again,
 
 I have just PING and also LINKS to a couple different sites from the
 vt and it work fine!  What does this mean?  any ideas would be great
 thank you
 
 Sincerely,

To fix your xterm you may need to run:

# etc-update

It seems that something is amiss with your internet connection as far as the
portage is concerned.  Have you set up a proxy in your environment by any
chance?

Aha!  You're on Comcast!

copying the URL that emerge is trying to grab, paste it into your
regular web browser, and see what comes up. If it comes up with a file
download, then just save that file into /usr/portage/distfiles and
then that particular emerge should be fine (but you will still
apparently have a larger issue). If it comes up with the Comcast

even attempted to talk with Comcast tech support about it, as what

cable modem and it should work fine. The way I personally resolved it
was to use non-Comcast DNS server settings...

I had to deal with something similar when I was using CableOne.  I
registered my router once and never had problems with it again
afterward, aside from the fact that they charged me $99USD a month for a
static IP.
