i recently installed arch and am unable to get past my router. i can ping the router fine and that is about it. any help would be great

edit /etc/rc.conf
something like this might work

Code:

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.1.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
#eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)

gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

just change 192.168.1.101 to the ip address of your machine
and 192.168.1.1 to the ip adress of the router

then edit /etc/resolve.conf and add some dns server to it

Are you shure that your /etc/resolv.conf is edited in the right way?

my nameserver was wrong
