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

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<http://1.0.0.0>.
Same with Xchat servers. It also shows IPs of 1.0.0.0 <http://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

What exactly do you mean by that? Do I have to put its IP in
/etc/resolv.conf?

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?
