dhcpcd eth0 needs to load at startup

Mallrats

My internet connection works when I type
[cood]dhcpd eth0[/code]
How do I automatically configure this so I don't need to do it myself on each startup?

assuming that you meant "dhcpcd eth0": in /etc/conf.d/net :

Uncomment #iface_eth0="dhcp" line in /etc/conf.d/net.
Forum search would have probably gotten you this.

Thanks for the quick replies. I had both those lines set but didn't have the -t 30 value set
when I type rc-update add net eth0 default I get
* /sbin/rc-update: /etc/init.d/net not found; aborting
I am root, I did a "su -". I was told that would help but it didn't
I also tried substituting /sbin/rc-update for rc-update.

Thanks again

check etc/conf.d/net

line should be uncommented

iface_eth0="dhcp"

I still get the error when the line is commented out

You missed a "." between net and eth0 there.

"Self proclaimed guru"... which bee got under your bonnet? What is the criticism? Read his post carefully:

Get a life, anon. Learn to read and write intelligibly... or haven't they covered that yet in grade school?

These forums are for help. If you can't help, at least don't be a hindrance.
