welcome tisbris, to the gentoo forums.
about this being your first linux install:
Gentoo is not recommended for linux-firsttimers, but i think it isn't as hard as some may tell u.
The thing about gentoo is that it has no shiny objects to distract you from the thruth, wich makes it hard at first but you'll learn to love it.
If this project of yours proves to be to hard, don't give up on linux and try a easier distribution such as mandrake or fedora or whatever.

Now back on topic
you need to erase the # in the /etc/conf.d/net
tisbris wrote:
#iface_eth0="dhcp"
#dhcpcd_eth0="-HD"
Code:
should be:
iface_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-HD"

typing a # infront of a line, mean's it's ignored

you can check if dhcpcd is in the startup sequence by typing (as root) rc-update -s
but reading your error tell's me it is.
to check if you've installed a package you can use equery list

If you did all the rest right. so all you have to do now to get the network started is either reboot, or (much nicer) type:
Code:
/etc/init.d/eth0.net restart


P.S. add [solved] to your topic line if this solved your problem.
