If you have an IP, but the nameserver is missing, just put "nameserver 8.8.8.8" in your resolv.conf.
Exactly. Like it says in the Beginners' Guide:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … em_or_ISDN
And because most ISPs have moved to IPv6, you may need to adjust your resolv.conf:
# echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 > /etc/resolv.conf
PS: Don't forget to mark it as solved (by editing the first post).
]]>If I ping 8.8.8.8. it works but no still no internet
Did I read that right? If you can ping ip addresses then you most certainly do have internect connectivity. You just may not have a proper DNS.
Also, while I'm well outside my expertise (and ewaller can correct or clarify) dhcp is not just for ipv6 (is it??). AFAIK dhdcpcd or dhclient will get DNS info and put it in /etc/resolve.conf which is needed. That is a bit 'handwavy' as if some magic happens, which is basically is to me, but I know that those are the relevant players and the roles they play. So, I'd say check your resolve.conf, and try out dhcpcd.
]]>Are you sure your modem uses PPPoE? Any chance it is mini-router providing NAT translation and running its own little DHCP server? Have you just tried using dhcpcd ? Can't hurt.
]]>I just recently bought a new pc (Gateway DX4860). I have recently download the latest archlinux iso (with the new install method). I have the partitions setup, but I can't seem to get my dsl working at all. My setup is simple just an Ethernet cable from PC to modem (no router), so I should just be able to do a pppoe-setup and be on my way. Setup works, but I get no connectivity. What am I missing?. I also have a ralink wireless card in this PC if that means anything.
