The topic name pretty much sums it up, I am able to ping inside and outside IP addresses but when I try to ping google.com I get an unknown host response from ping. I checked my network settings (I have DHCP enabled) and I do infact have nameservers in the /etc/resolve.conf so I decided to load up a live CD and I can ping with no problems from the live session. I chrooted to my gentoo install (making sure to copy the resolv.conf just incase) and after chrooting to my gentoo install I could no longer ping so there must be some broken package and I'm not too sure where to begin. I've tried running revdep-rebuild which found python 2.7 and cairo to be broken so it remerged them but still nothing after that (though I wasn't expecting either of those, especially cairo, to fix this). I am suspecting it might be something to do with my use flags or package.use file args. Just as a note this make.conf is super old (my brother gave it to me 4+ years ago) and I haven't really done anything to it aside from try to stop evolution flags from being used so if anyone has any suggestions for changes please let me know because when I tried to update the use flags, terrible things happened to my system.
