That's actually the reverse of what you want (dhcpcd is a DHCP server,
you want a DHCP client).

In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, there should be a line
that says:
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
If you don't have one, or have one that says BOOTPROTO=<something else>,
you need to fix that. That ought to be all you need to do to enable
DHCP on your eth0 interface.
