Re: No Internet

Make sure you have added your DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf
It should be in the form of: nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Re: No Internet

I use my routers ip address, for example;

nameserver 192.168.1.1

Edit: You would want to put your routers address there instead of as listed above.
Edit #2: I thought I read you were using a router so....if you're not...

Re: No Internet

Try to define your network interface in rc.conf, under NETWORK
There is an example regarding the syntax.
To test if it works run a:

/etc/rc.d/network restart

Haven't been here in a while. Still rocking Arch.
