Starting to install: Internet problem

I can't use the internet in Gentoo. I don't have a network card, I have an onboard connection. Gentoo sees it though. I run 'ifconfig' and it seems to be working. I cannot ping websites however. I can ping others on my LAN using 127.xx.xxx.xxx but not with 192.168.0.1. I am using a D-Link router and it has DHCP enabled on it. When I use 'links' in Gentoo, I cannot connect to any host. I'm not exactly sure what to do. I read the documentation and I think I did everything.

Code:

---

su -
ifconfig eth0 up
dhclient eth0

---

Dude, that was a quick reply. I'm going to boot up into Gentoo and try it. Thanks!

Okay, sounds good, let me know what happens.

I'm using thr LiveCD universal.
'dhclient eth0' didn't work. It said there was no dhclient command.
I assume 'su -' & 'ifconfig eth0' both worked as they did not give me any errors.

okay, good
then instead of "dhclient" do:

Code:

---

dhcpcd eth0

---

Ok, that command worked but I still can't see websites.

can you:

Code:

---

ping 216.239.39.99

---

it says "connect: network is unreachable"

what does:

Code:

---

ifconfig eth0

---

output?
