I see.

Did you enable ipv6 or something? I think I've seen a similar problem somewhere in the past, but can't find it right now. I think that someone "solved" it by dissabling ipv6.

IPs starting by 192.168. are reserved and refer to your local intranet. They are local IPs, and are not accessible from outside.

How comes one browser is working and other is not? Is there a proxy in use? Conqueror probably gets net conf from KDE environment, Firefox from Gentoo.
Is 192.168.0.1 a valid DNS?
It seems ping is working and able to resolve domain names.
It could be valid.
Mine looks like this.
# Generated by dhcpcd from wlan0
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
nameserver 192.168.1.254

OK, lets see what we have here.
ping google.com works - I'd say network is configured properly?

What's the output of
Code:
dig google.com
?

This should tell us what nameserver is used.

Sorry I've been gone for a while, but I appreciate all the responses! Here are some answers to some questions that have been asked:

Could be, but I don't know how to change them on the computer or, for that matter, how I would have changed them in the first place. I've tried plugging my computer directly into the modem with no change, so it's not the fault of any settings on the router.

ipv6 was enabled in my kernel, so I disabled and rebuilt without it. Now Firefox works, but emerge still doesn't. I don't have dig as a command, so I can't post that output.
