I'm not really sure what the problem is, I've done everything exactly as my friend has but only I have this problem.
I do
ifconfig eth0
which brings up
inet addr: 169.254.253.171
---
dhcpcd eth0
results in
err, eth0: timed out
warn, eth0: using IPV4LL address 169.254.253.171
I don't really know what to do, help please?
I'm pretty sure the router is configured properly.

try putting
eth0="dhcp"
and
INTERFACES=(eth0)
in /etc/rc.conf

Since I think kernel .25 I have that too.
Second time I try it works though:
killall dhcpcd
ifconfig eth0 up
iwconfig eth0 essid "XXXXXXXX" key "YYYYYYYYYYYYY"
dhcpcd eth0
As you see, I'm using a wireless network, not sure about you...
But try running these commands a few times and see if you get any better results then.
I hate this warning... don't know how to solve it yet.

Ok, let's see if that does anything.

Well, this is odd. It says (when I do "vi rc.conf"):
found a swap file by the name ".rc.conf.swp"
owned by: root dated: stuff (yesterday)
file name: /etc/rc.conf
modified: no
user name: root host name: myhost
process id: 2453
while opening file: "rc.conf"
dated: stuff (2 days ago)(1) another program may be editing the same file [some text omitted...]
(2) an edit session for this file crashed [some text omitted...]swap file ".rc.conf.swp" already exists!

Well I tried it anyway, and it seems to have worked; thanks. I guess that's one problem down then.

Please mark this thread as solved (edit your first post).
