So, before I can further, I might need to fix this problem... do I have a old 'portage' setup ? How do I fix it?
Can you connect to the internet on this machine? or are you posting from a different setup? It seems that emerge is failing to access the server to update, but I'm not sure what would cause that to fail while you can still get to LQ.

Hi sploot;
I can ping 8.8.8.8 from the box.
I can also ping 196.25.1.1 from the local and...
I can also ping www.linuxquestions.org
Could it maybe be my shorewall setup?
My linux box also functions as my 'glorified' router (splitting traffic etc)
I've put this in the make.conf file and saved it with :wq
I ran it.
Yeap, you were right sploot, it was slow but at least it worked - took nothing short of forever! hahaha.
