              dhcpcd: command not found by Michiel2005-03-15 09:59:55
                Ok, few more ideas then by Deverant 2005-03-15 10:10:29
1) I think you did try "dhcpcd eth0" as a root..

2) If your router gets the IP from your ISP does it then provide some sort of NAT or NAPT? In otherwords all computers behind it have a ip address of range 192.168.* or other NAT variations.. It is possible that your router provides a dhcp service to the computers behind it. I might even say most likely so.. depends of course on your router config.

3) If you want to use a static ip, then add something like this to your /etc/conf.d/net:
iface_eth0="192.168.1.100 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
gateway="eth0/192.168.1.1"
Of course change the IP addresses to match your network.
Then just add the eth0 to your bootup sequence. In otherwords type "rc-update add eth0 default" as root.

                  Right, still might need dhcp... by Michiel2005-03-15 10:21:38
                    it's actually net.eth0 by Freakazoid2005-03-15 10:23:02
                      In that case it's already default. (n/t) by Michiel2005-03-15 10:29:32
                  Whoo! It works! by Michiel2005-03-15 10:34:56
