Network is not working

Hi all and thanks in advance for your support.

I red some topics with the same problem but, to be honest, I couldn't solve it.

I've got a machine with two net cards, a Realtek PCI and a Nvidia on-board. For the first one the right module is '8139too' - on Ubuntu is working perfectly - and for the second card 'forcedeth' module.

Both the cards seem to be installed correctly and are able to ping a domain.

When I try to 'pacman -Syu' or to 'wget' a page on Internet the connection seems freezed and I have to CTRL-C to stop the command.

This is really strange but I have to solve it to use Arch also on my girlfriend's pc...

Re: Network is not working

What's the output of the following commands?

cat /etc/resolv.conf
ip route show
ip addr show

A bus station is where a bus stops.
A train station is where a train stops.
On my desk I have a workstation.

Re: Network is not working

'ip' is a command not found on Arch base installation

To be honest I'm thinking that is a bug.

Re: Network is not working

ip is in the iproute package. Try these commands instead:

ifconfig -a
netstat -rn

Re: Network is not working

As I've just said, network is configured correctly.
I work on Arch and I use it at home too, and I've never had a similar problem.

*for bug I mean the network problem, not the command not found for "ip"*
