connecting to the internet in archlinux
 

hi
i hav already gone through the archlinux installation.
now m stuck at installation of gui.
but our college uses a cyberoam client.
how to get connected to the internet to install xorg nd kde???
kindly provide solutions.....

Can you open a terminal and ping google.com?

If not run this as root

assuming your gateway is 192.168.1.1 and that your gateway acts as a dns forwarder(running dnsmasq).

echo 'nameserver 192.168.1.1' > /etc/resolv.conf

ip r a default via 192.168.1.1

Now try pinging google.com.
