Gentoo internet

I'm trying to install Gentoo, and I've downloaded and burnt the LiveCD to start setup, but I can't get it to connect to the internet

I have built in NVidia nforce2 ethernet, and a DHCP router (Linksis MR814v2 802.11b router w/ 4 port switch, I'm connected with an ethernet cable). It won't autodetect DHCP. It does show this at startup, mabye it has something to do with it:

...stuff about autodetecting stuffs...
Network device eth0 detected, DHCP broadcasting for IP....
...stuff about soundcard...

ifconfig only gives me info about "lo". If I do net-setup eth0, autodetect DHCP option won't work, and if I manually enter the things (I don't know the nameservers, but I think that I wouldn't need them if I'm just trying to ping something in my network, at least for now), ifconfig shows correct info, but I can't ping my gateway (I guess that the MR814v2 is the gateway, and the gateway IP is 192.168.0.1, since that is what I use to access it from a browser), or any other computer on the network.

And no, I don't want to do a stage 3 install

Never mind, I fixed the problem by downdrading from 2004.1 to 2004.0

Known issue with that particular CD, check the stickys on their forum before install, they put announcements about broken stuff on the CDs there usually .
