When I boot my machine eth0 starts fine but does not get a dhcp lease. I have to manually run dhcpcd. After that I have an ip and can access my network fine. in /etc/conf.d/net I have
what else could be the problem ? It annoying to have to manually renew my lease each time
Thanks

you probably want to replace iface_eth0="dhcp" with: | Code: | | config_eth0=( "dhcp" ) |
if you are using dhcp to get your address, without any special additional options, then a blank /etc/conf.d/net file should work for you..
more details and examples are included in /etc/conf.d/net.example

Do you have net.eth0 to start in the run level you start up with? Usually the run level called default.

have you run any recent updates ?
did you remember to run dispatch-conf or etc-update after your updates ?
especially if any base-layout updates
