I guess you are writing here from another machine?
No, the connection to the internet is fine I think, at least for browsing and such.
By 'Gentoo servers' do you mean the entries in make.conf? Can you ping
anything? Or is it just the servers you cannot get to?
I can NOT ping the gentoo servers at all, no xchat servers etc. When I try to emerge, the address show in the terminal is always 1.0.0.0. Same with Xchat servers. It also shows IPs of 1.0.0.0 which is why I am so confused with it.
If it's jsut the servers then here's the ones I'm using. They would
not be good long term solutions, but at least they work:
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.tucdemonic.org/gentoo/
ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo http://mirror.gentoo.gr.jp

Karsten,
Diagnosing network issues without details is a little difficult, but here's a
list to start with:
1. Your dlink router is god, as far as your box is concerned. It should be
the only entry listed in /etc/resolv.conf as it is caching/forwarding dns on
behalf of your network.
What exactly do you mean by that? Do I have to put its IP in /etc/resolv.conf?
2. Verify that you have your ip address set to be a child of the router. It
will either be set up with a 10.x.x.x or a 192.168.x.x addressing range. If
you're using dhcp, then your dhcp client should be pointed to the router to
get it's ip address.
I am not 100% sure if my settings are correct, but I am connected, both to the router and the internet and can ping certain IPs, so I think this should be ok.
What could the problem be, that these programs spit out these weird non-sense IPs?
