After typing emerge rsync, I get the following: --------------------------------------------- >>> starting rsync with rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage... rsync: failed to connect to rsync.gentoo.org: Connection refused rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(97) >>> Updating Portage cache... ---------------------------------------------- It only cranks away for 10 seconds or so on Updating Portage cache and then returns to the command prompt. I'm only running a 233, so I know it shouldn't be going through it THAT fast... Anyway, attached is the emerge info. As of right now I can't rsync, so I can't really update anything. Thanks for any help you can provide.

update your portage, it'll handle this better *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 12925 ***
It ended up not being a duplicate of 12925. The problem was related to shorewall blocking the protocol that rsync uses. Once I allowed the protocol to come through fine, I could rsync without any problems.
