Hi!

I have some problems recieving an IP from my dhcp server with my gentoo computer.
In windows it works fine.

I've set eth0 to use dhcp in /etc/conf.d/net

is there something i've forgotten to do??

Mine didn't seem to work at first either - then I ran net-setup and everything seems fine. Hope this helps you as well.

Well the problem is that i was working fine some days ago.
But i recently went to a lan party where i had to use static IPs so i changed it in /etc/conf.d/net and now when i return home it won't work ;(
Apparently I must have done somethinge else than just editing the net file in conf.d.
Have no idea of what it could be though.

Well solved the problem.
I had been using another network card on the lan and changed modules.autoload to use the other card. :oops:

Well works fine now! Thanks for the help!
