Network issue

I'm attempting my first install of Arch.

The only issue I have is getting a network.

I've set Interface to eth0 but when booting after install and updating via pacman, it fails to connect.

Using DHCP are there any other settings to alter?

Re: Network issue

How did you set eth0? In rc.conf? netcfg?

Re: Network issue

It is not clear what you mean by "Using DHCP".  I assume this means you intend to use a dynamic address.

Try this.  As root, run dhcpcd eth0 from the command line and see if the network comes up.
You might also post the output of ip addr

Re: Network issue

I solved it by editing rc.conf to

interface=eth0
eth0=dhcp

and this gave me internet access.
