Re: archlinux fresh install networking problem

grep dmesg for eth0 references - there might be errors.

Re: archlinux fresh install networking problem

by running

grep dmesg

nothing happens except loading
is this what you are trying to say
ive looked through dmesg and found no eth0 or eth errors

Re: archlinux fresh install networking problem

Post the output of ifconfig -a and your rc.conf. Use code tags please.

Re: archlinux fresh install networking problem

ifconfig comes up with two devices

lo

and

wlan

if that helps
and my rc.conf is pretty defualt besides enabling gateway

this definatly means the eth0 nic is not enabled
