Problems with DHCP

When I boot into Gnome, I have to open a terminal and use dhcpcd before I can do anything else.  Can I start dhcpcd as a daemon in the /etc/rc.conf to save time?

Re: Problems with DHCP

if you specify in /etc/rc.conf

eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(... eth0...)
ROUTES=(!gateway)

DAEMONS=(... network ...)

the dhcp client should run automatically with starting your network device

if you have this already, check the logs on what went wrong
