If this is durring the installation process:
Did you copy your /etc/resolv.conf file to /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf before you chrooted?

If this is after you rebooted:
did you compile in network support into your kernel?
did you compile it in as a module? if so did you load those modules?
did you configure your network interface in /etc/conf.d/net and then run "rc-update add net.eth0 default"?

more info needed then a half post please.

cat /etc/resolv.conf

With this information, we will be able to help you.
But before you post it, and you use a router (not dialup/pppoe) to connect to the internet, make sure that the line

That was the problem.

I forgot I had changed some stuff before and just mounted, chrooted, unmounted.

Thanks, didn't even think about resolv.conf
