fyi, from rc.conf:
# (prefix a module with a ! to disable it) # (prefix an interface in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it) # (prefix a route in ROUTES with a ! to disable it) # (prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it)
so if you do not want to enable something in rc.conf arrays then add a ! before it.
yes, i understand the ! symbol and what it meant. what i meant was that i didn't know what the ROUTES directive meant, and as such, i didn't realize that the "!gateway" in it was actually preventing the gateway from starting up. i guess i should have looked it up, but i didn't. it seems that what i thought is actually hard to explain, so if you understand what i'm saying, good. if not, well, we'll just let it go, cuz it all works now
[edit]i think what i was trying to say is that i thought that if i didn't want a gateway, i would have just deleted the "gateway=blah blah" line.[/edit]
now i just need to figure out my mouse problem with X... one of the many i believe i will have

]]>here is my ethernet section of my rc.conf file
lo="lo 127.0.0.1" eth0="eth0 192.168.11.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255" INTERFACES=(lo eth0) gateway="default gw 192.168.11.1" ROUTES=(!gateway) DAEMONS=(!PCMCIA network crond inetd)
did i do something wrong? it seems right to me.
yupp, gateway is set but disabled -> remove the excamation mark

]]>Ok, i have a fresh install of arch 0.5 but i can't get outside of our lan. meaning, i can ping any address inside our lan, but when i ping anything on the other side of the router, the network is unreachable
ie. i type ping google.com and it returns
PING google.com (google's ip here [so i know the dns is working ok]
sendto: Network is unreachablewhat could be the problem?
my guess is that you haven't set/uncomment the gateway entry in rc.conf
