This is weird:
127.0.1.1 r_t
Why would you do that?
How about "127.0.0.1 localhost r_t" and "::1 localhost r_t"?
Offline
In hosts I tryed:
127.0.0.1 localhost r_t
::1 localhost r_t
Then I tryed:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 r_t localhost
Neather worked.
I still get the "Server not found" error in firefox for google.com and everywhere else.

Pl try after removing ! in !gateway. Ensure that 192.168.1.254 is your right address. I had once this problem after doing this everything was ok. Otherwise you can use netcfg or wicd which is simple and straight.
in the host it is to be 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost r_t
The best solution you will get by reading wiki and searching the forum.

Are you sure about:
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.254"
The 192.168.1 looks okay (it is consistant with the subnet of your IP) but I don't have any way to know about the .254. Most of the cheap, home routers I've encountered like to use .1 in the last byte.
Try pinging the address you think your router is at and see if it responds.

I'll see if any of this works.
One thing is Im not using a router. Everything works on Ubuntu and two Slackware based distros.
I spent a week reading the forums and everything else.

Sorry, I assumed you had a local router.
Can you descibe your network connection a little more? Are you using DSL, Cable modem, wireless, satellite?
There is a router someplace -- maybe just not under your roof.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see you have a DSL modem. Never-the-less, see if you can ping it at your gateway address. You also might try entering it's hardware address into your browser address bar and see if it has a web page for setup and managent. It might cough up some good information

"There is a router someplace -- maybe just not under your roof."
Thats what Im starting to think. If there is one outside maybe the router instructions will work?
Its a wired DSL modem. A small Motorola. Its pluged directly to my computer and the phone filter jack.
I dont remember what command I used to detect my Network hardware for the module to use but it showed forcedeth.
Im using a Nvidia motherboard. An ad for my Computer model said The network hardware was a PCI Realtek RTL8201N 10/100 Mbps LAN PHY.

Well, I checked a couple Motorola DSL modems out and they do use 192.168.1.254, so that looks okay.
Can you see the modem's web page by entering http://192.168.1.254 into your browser address bar?

Is /etc/hosts correct?
If so try disabling ipv6.

It's also possible you are just not resolving names right--can you paste the contents of /etc/resolv.conf and also the output of /sbin/route -n?
Offline
"Can you see the modem's web page by entering http://192.168.1.254 into your browser address bar?"
Yes, that works.
I remembered that in a connection profile in 'NetworkManager Applet' that Auto eth0 is set. I dont know if that could be confliting with something but its also set that way with the same settings on a Distro that works with internet.
/sbin/route -n gives this output:
Kernel IP routing table

Just to be sure your router is not affecting your ability to resolve names, can you try commenting the existing nameserver line and adding:
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
(these are OpenDNS nameservers, make sure you don't restart your connection as resolv.conf may get overwritten).
Also edit your hosts file and change 127.0.0.1.255 to just 127.0.0.1 .
Then see if you can ping yahoo.com or something, and try to browse the web.

Do you need to specify both interfaces?
INTERFACES=(eth0 lo )
and will the space make a difference? Maybe not, but I don't do it in mine.

My understanding is that the loopback interface (lo) should always be present or networking will have odd issues. The space at the end of the array list doesn't matter I don't think.

Which one is "that" please. I have the same issue on my pc at work. This one is fine, but I have the same exact problem on my pc at work. I can run pacman, but no other internet. Please explain which item resolved your problem. Thanks!

Now Im just trying to figure out how to reboot without the resolv.conf changes being lost.

Well if you figure that one out I would appreciate knowing what you did. It works for me too, but I have the same issue. It resets to default every time.

edit: nope, it stayed on logout, but dissapeared on reboot, so I spoke too soon.

Maybe check the original forum post -- you might need to change the dhcpcd entry in /etc/conf.d

I believe I have it all sorted out now, but I cant speak for Avatar850us.
The only thing that seems to be a small, but annoying, point now is that my sound mixer settings wont stay put after logging out, or rebooting. It's not a big thing, but more of a small bother to have to reset the controls each time. All in all though, I love Arch, and it is really flying on my old box here at work, and even better on my home pc.:D
Thank for all the very helpful post from members.

Be sure you have stored the alsa settings and have alsa running at startup:

I had quit a bit more trouble geting it too boot without it rewriting my resolv.conf but I finaly found the solution that worked for me from http://usalug.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php? … 2643ca57c1
I did change to dhclient and uninstalled networkmanager and dhcpcd.
Also I remembered to remove them from the deamons section of rc.conf and add dhclient to it.
Thanks everyone for trying so hard to help. This is a great community.
