Can't download files in my Arch Linux
i have recently installed internet on mt arch system (not here), and i can't 'ping' just fine, but for some reason i can't download files, any files, not with wget, and of course pacman doesn't work...
My motherboard is ASUS P5QL-E. i had to download external drivers from ASUS site, and i'm using dhcp to connect. Thanks in advance! |
What do you mean by "installed internet"?---e.g. installing the driver for the ethernet card?
I assume you meant "I CAN ping". Can you ping a URL---eg ping www.google.com? If not, then you may not have your dns set up correctly. (/etc/resolv.conf) |
i can ping google. and my resolve.conf is like this:
Code:
nameserver 192.168.1.1 |
Yeah, more (clearer) info required.
(Hey pix, you a mod now ??? - congrats) |
BTW my /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd file look like this:
Code:
DHCPCD_ARGS="-t 30 -h $HOSTNAME" Code:
[arch@root]$ pacman -Sy |
That looks like a router address - do you have your ISP DNS addresses set up in the router ???.
|
I always see two kinds of fields in /etc/resolv.conf: "nameserver" and "search".
I too am on a router. On the admin page, I can see the dns servers it is using, but I cannot change them. Try pinging various sites (by name). (Ping the url name for the pacman repository you are using.) If you can consistently ping by name, then you have a good connection. |
