every time i boot i have to run dhcpcd eth0 for internet

[scone]

not that i mind typing an 11 character command every time i boot, but it'd be nicer since i usually forget if init did it for me, which im pretty sure its supposed to do anyway

this is the (lets see, carry the two) last time i will reinstall gentoo since i pretty much have made most of the big mistakes (emerge portage when out of disk space:() but every time ive installed before, once i got it to load my NIC module, everything was coo'

it loads tulip fine and i get no errors in init, but i keep having to run dhcpcd eth0 in order to get the internet working (emerge, lynx, etc)

any suggestions?

I suggest you have a look into /etc/conf.d/net, edit it the way you like ('iface eth0="dhcp" comes to my mind) and add /etc/init.d/net.eth0 to a runlevel of your choice ('rc-update add net.eth0 default' or something).

Hope, this helps

I had the same problem. Your fix worked fine for me.
