Can't get network up on startup.

I've tried everything, but I can't get my network connections to work during startup. I have to dhcpcd eth0 to get it working.
This is my rc.conf file:
#
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
#

#
# Localization
#
# Note: HARDWARECLOCK is either "UTC" or "localtime"
#
KEYMAP=la-latin1
TIMEZONE=Chile/Continental
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"

#
# Networking
#
HOSTNAME="selknam"

#
# Module to load at boot-up (in this order)
#   (prefix a module with a ! to disable it)
#
MODULES=(!usbserial !ide-scsi
scsi_hostadapter usb_storage 8139too tulip)

#
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
#   (prefix an interface in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it)
#
# Note: to use DHCP, set your interface to be "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
#
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eht0="dhcp"
eth1="eth1 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1)

#
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
#   (prefix a route in ROUTES with a ! to disable it)
#
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)

#
# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
#   (prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it)
#
DAEMONS=(!pcmcia network crond inetd)

# End of file

This is my modules.conf file.
#
# /etc/modules.conf
#
alias eth0 8139too
alias sound-slot-0 maestro3
alias eth1 tulip
probeall scsi_hostadapter usb-storage
# End of file

PLease help me.

Re: Can't get network up on startup.

You have a typo in your rc.conf that could be the problem:

eht0="dhcp" 

should be:

eth0="dhcp"

Re: Can't get network up on startup.

Also, does your Modules line actually span two lines?  This could also cause problems, since I don't know how Pacman handles these config files.

Try changing:

#
# Module to load at boot-up (in this order)
# (prefix a module with a ! to disable it)
#
MODULES=(!usbserial !ide-scsi
scsi_hostadapter usb_storage 8139too tulip)

to

#
# Module to load at boot-up (in this order)
# (prefix a module with a ! to disable it)
#
MODULES=(!usbserial !ide-scsi scsi_hostadapter usb_storage 8139too tulip)

Re: Can't get network up on startup.

as well if you are going through a router or gateway you should remove the exclamation point (comment) from in fron of the gateway array.

Re: Can't get network up on startup.

thanks a lot!!!. And, that about two lines is not a problem, really it's one line, but it didn't fit here.
