rsync:getaddrinfo:rsync.gentoo.org 873: Temporary failure in name resolution
rsync error: error in sucket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(97)

I've been struggling with praticular error for days, sometimes rsync works, sometime not, sometimes in the middle of an update system I lose name resolution; I know my local ISP's DNS servers are working, I've added them to resolv.conf with no change. Is this a temporary outage I'm unaware of? Something I can fix? Please help.

Moved from Installing Gentoo.

During an rsync is the only time you have network problems?

During a sync / rsync, yes. Forgive me for not listing pertinent system information as of the time of the posting, I was...distracted. Anyway, its a

K7S5A SiS motherboard
athlon xp 1600+
256 2100 DDR
WD 30gb Seagate ST310230A
AOPEN 52x CDROM
ATI rage mobility 8mb (I believe, borowed from a friend)
RealTek RTL8100/B (on board)

I was also using a stage 2, athlon-xp optimized live cd. After trying to reinstall from a stage one disc, I found that I couldn't write to the partition table of the seagate (listed above). So I swapped it out with a Western Digital 30gb I had sitting around and, subsequent sync / rsync's have been flawless. I'm not sure if I had a defective hard drive or it was a bug of the live cd I was using.
