Need help, how to configure network

Friends,

I have downloaded the LiveCD-rc1 and want to try out Gentoo.
I'm able to install Mandrake and my networkconnection works but I'm unable to do it with Gentoo. I see a lot of succes-stories and I want to enjoy Gentoo as well. I'm using MxStream (adsl-provider in the Netherlands) and I understand I need to use PPTP. How on earth do I do that??? Is this even possible with LiveCD-r1. Would some guru please post a small howto? Besides eternal fame I will be thankful forever.

Greetings,
Han.

PS. I hope I have done enough "butt-kissing" and someone is willing to help me.
