Internet connection lost after -Suy

I just went through a huge -Suy and I've lost the ability to connect to the internet. 

I have had problems with my router lately (I've been having to restart it almost everyday to start dhcp on my pc's).  However, I restarted it aobut 12 times this morning, and I can reach the internet on my webserver which wasn't upgraded recently.

The only major package upgrade that might be relevant that I can remember is udev.

I'm using the forcedeth module for networking, and I am getting a message in my 'everything.log' that says something to the effect of

Timed out while waiting for a response from a valid DHCP server.

Re: Internet connection lost after -Suy

you mean you lost all internet? the arch upgrade servers seem to be down, if that's what you mean. the connection is hanging and timing out. if you can't connect at all, try restarting your interface, # /etc/rc.d/network restart

yes: all internet.

example:

me@mypc #> ping google.com
ping:  unknown host google.com

After i try to restart my network it tells me [FAIL].
When I check my logs afterward it tells me that it timed out while waiting for a valid dhcp server.

Re: Internet connection lost after -Suy

Actually it's working just fine.  For the first time ever udev has made a distinction between my two networking cards, and named my onboard networking card eth1.  I changed it to use eth1 in rc.conf and now i get this

[root@sg01 sgillespie]# /etc/rc.d/network restart

What is going on?

EDIT:  Once again, it's working.  I forgot to change the other references to eth1, so no problem now.  Life goes on...
