You need to uncomment gateway in routes. It should read:

ROUTES=(gateway)

Re: error on /etc/rc.d/network restart

This can fail for any number of reasons.  Can you post the output of "ifconfig -a" after each of the following commands:

ifconfig eth0 up
dhcpcd eth0

NOTE: these need to be done as root

Re: error on /etc/rc.d/network restart

Once you set /etc/rc.conf to use DHCP the only other thing you need to do is restart the network (as root of course) with:

/etc/rc.d/network restart

if you get errors please post the output of :
ifconfig
route
mii-tool

Re: error on /etc/rc.d/network restart

i had already done that... maybe it was something i didnt sellect on the base install no?
ifconfig:

lo blablabla
there was no eth0 :s

route:

Destination      Gateway      Genmask     Flags adsf (i dont understand what i wrote)     Use Iface

mii-tool:

SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' (and 'eth2') failed: Operation not supported
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth1' failed: Invalid argument
no MII interfaces

ipconfig eth0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS no such file or directory

shall i reinstall the base and select all packages?

Re: error on /etc/rc.d/network restart

I get the FAIL too sometimes on network restart with my wifi card.
Doesn't really matter since it works anyways, dunno why it does it tho. My guess its somethin to do with the sequence the daemons load. acx dhcp network...

Ps i got !gateway too with dhcp, it works.

Re: error on /etc/rc.d/network restart

if you do not get eth0 info with ifconfig something is wrong.
It may be that a) your card is not recognized or b) the driver for the nic card is not loaded.

Re: error on /etc/rc.d/network restart

Am I correct assuming you have a pci network card?
Then do "lspci" and tell us what card it is...

The driver might be loaded. You wont see it in ifconfig until you bring it up.
"ifconfig eth0 up"
