dhcpcd is slowing kde [SOLVED]

[Ray ishido]

hello,

I just finished the instalation of my first gentoo (ie, be patient, I am newb ), and I have a problem:
I boot in init 3. dhcpcd is not runing. I start kde. everything is great and very responsive. then I open a consol and, as root, I run dhcpcd. then for example if I try to open my home directory, konqueror will will take a min to open.
other example: if I open kmail, it will open very fast but it will take 1min 30 before It show me what is inside the mail.

I tried fc-cache -fv but the probleme is still here.

one thing I found strange is that, when I installed my gentoo, dhcpcd was lunch automatically at start-up (I think), but after I install some software (I don't know which one, but I was installing firefox, kaffeine, k3b, xine...) there is a net.eth0 which was lunch at the start-up (with a lot of error message about iproute2,...) and dhcp wasn't updated automaticaly anymore.
I have remove net.eth0 (rc-config -delete...), but I always need to lunch dhcpcd manualy.
I don't know how kde reacted before this because I had not run it before net.eth0 appears.

last things: my fstab is:
/dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults,notail,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda3 /home reiserfs noatime 0 2
/dev/hda1 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,users 0 0

I hope you can help me

edit : to be sure I add net.eth0 and the probleme is still here...

You propably don't want dhcpd at all. dhcpd is a server process that provides other hosts on your network with IP addresses, not the machine it runs on.
You may want dhcpcd. But only if there's another machine on your network on which a dhcpd runs that can provide your local machine with an IP address.

You should provide some information about your network. Otherwise ist will be very difficult to help you.

hello,

thank you for your answer.

yes, I run dhcpcd. I have done a mistake in my first post and I will correct it.

I am connected to the network of my university. all I know is that my ip, and everything else is configured by dhcp.

on my system I follow step by step the gentoo instalation guide to install the network:
/etc/con.d/net -> nothing inside
/etc/hosts-> 127.0.0.1 localhost ray
rc-update add net.eth0 default

but there is something I hadn't understood before (sorry, I am leanrning ):
the net.eth0 script which worked well before and update my dhcp configuration.
now send me a lot of error:

* Starting eth0
* adsl does not support the required function provides
* apipa does not support the required function check_installed
* arping does not support the required function provides

* tuntap does not support the required function provides
* udhcpc does not support the required function provides
* vlan does not support the required function provides
* wpa_supplicant does not support the required function provides
* no interface module has been loaded

I beleived that net.eth0 was something add by a software and I don't understood that it's it that configure the network.
but I don't understand why it doesn't work well anymore (as I said earlier, it began to goes wrong after I had install some soft like kaffeine...), and I think that there is perhaps the solution of my probleme here.

how can I solve the problem? If you want to know more about my configuration ask me.

oki, once the probleme had been better identified I found the solution on the forum.
so the problem was due to tue net.eth0 which wasn't load correctly.

the solution
#rm /etc/init.d/net.*
#rm /etc/conf.d/net
#emerge baselayout

re-configure some file (/etc/conf.d/net,...)
