[gentoo-user] Portage Emerge Net Connect Error

Everytime I attempt to install a new program using portage i get this error:

Resolving distfiles.gentoo.org... failed: Temporary failure in  name
resolution.

I do have internet access and I am writing this email from the same
machine.  It doesn't matter what package or when i get this error all the
time.  Even on the other mirrors for the package.

Well, for some reason dns lookup for those sites fail.  What happens 
when you put distfiles.gentoo.org in a web browser?  You could also try 
pinging the repositories first, and if they get though, try emerge 
again.  If emerge still fails, I'd try adding them to the host file with 
whatever ip you get from pinging as a workaround.

Can you try doing ping www.google.com at the command line? Does that work?
 
If not check /etc/resolv.conf as with some routers you need to manually specify DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf.

I do a ping distfiles.gentoo.org
ping: unknown host distfiles.gentoo.org

Than i try and ping its ip and i get
connect: network is unreachable

Pinging www.Google.com:
connect: network is unreachable

contents of resolv.conf
domain localdomain
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 192.168.1.1

But as i said before I am able to browser the web in Firefox.

Okay i got it to work.  It turns out /etc/conf.d/net was not setup to see
the router.

I just looked it up on the Gentoo Linux Doc and routes_eth0 was not set up
so I added
routes_eth0="default gw 192.168.1.1"
to the end of the file, restarted eth0 and everything works now.

Thanks for the help.

Try my suggestion. Manually specify nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf. I have had the same problem before. Web browsers and the like work happily but console based programs do not.

And you are writing your email also in your browser, right?

Taking all the above into account, the conclusion is:

1. Your browser is configured to use a proxy, and the proxy server is given by 
IP address.
2. Your box lacks a default route.

It's a logical AND between 1. and 2. ;-)
