Re: [gentoo-user] Network works OK internally but can't access Internet - very frustrated

If you just did emerge --sync, the problem that you have was not
caused by this command. Do you have your dns configuration correct?
please check you /etc/resolv.conf file. Does your DHCP server send
nameserver to the client?
