Hi Damian

I had a similar problem with my machine when I first started using
Gentoo, but I then discovered sys-apps/netplug. Install that and all
should be well. You might want to check your RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING
variable (in /etc/conf.d/rc) is the way you want it, but otherwise
there isn't any extra configuration required.

I realise you've already got your original problem sorted, but
hopefully this helps others.
