Re: Network not working

BTW, when you are at it in windows get the values for the gateway and the DNS servers.

Re: Network not working

OK. Now we can play a bit.
Edit your /etc/rc.conf like this:
eth0="eth0 81.236.159.170  netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 81.236.159.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
#
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
#   - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
#
gateway="default gw 81.236.159.1"
ROUTES=(gateway) <-- notice I removed the ! mark in"!gateway"

Then edit /etc/resolv.conf and enter:
nameserver 195.67.199.39
nameserver 195.67.199.40
nameserver 195.67.199.41

Then restart the network (or the pc whatever you like) and try to connect.

Re: Network not working

See if you can ping 199.232.41.10.  Thats the actual ip of gnu.org.  If you can ping that, then you have a DNS isse.

Re: Network not working

I'm also a bit suspicios of the broadcast address (broadcast 81.236.159.255) since I guessed it. A logical guess but ... a guess at the very end.
If you can confirm in your windows machine that that is in fact the address it would be good.

Re: Network not working

You might even try removing the broadcast address altogether.

Just try:

eth0="eth0 81.236.159.170 netmask 255.255.255.0"

Re: Network not working

I'm not sure it is such a good idea to remove the broadcast address, as networks use it to send information.

Re: Network not working

OK then. I guessed correctly.  8)
So, you have everything correct but we are not connecting ... now things get a bit more difficult.
Some ISPs require that you use a specific name, assigned by them to connect to their network.
Check your windows machine see it it is assigned a name by the ISP
when you connect, and if it does, then use it in your arch system.

In the HOSTNAME= in your /etc/rc.conf
I hope that will make it go.

Re: Network not working

maybe it's something wrong with the dhcpcd settings? or maybe i can download and compile a program that tries to configure my stuff automaticly just like the tool that exists in slackware linux



dhcpcd (base)
    Add if your machine is a DHCP client.
isdn4k-utils (network)
    Add if you use ISDN for dialup.
ppp (base)
    Add if you use an analog modem for dialup.
rp-pppoe (base)
    Add if you use DSL for pseudo-dialup.

maybe i need to install these packages?

Re: Network not working

Well ... you are currently not using DHCP, you have a static IP. That's the configuration we set for your machine.
Can you ping this IP? 192.75.71.50 or any of these : 81.228.3.186, 195.67.199.39 ?
