Before I get into my problem, I'd just like to say a quick hello to the Arch Community! (my first post).
I've been keeping an eye on Arch for some time now, waiting for a lull in my uni work so I could dedicate the proper time into installing this great sounding distro. So far, I'm thoroughly enjoying the experience despite my current snag.
Ok here goes..
I've more or less set my system up but for one problem. For some reason I cannot connect to any servers unless I traceroute them first.
Example 1: Pacman will hang no matter what I tell it to do, but if I traceroute mirror.aarnet.edu.au (my pacman mirror), pacman suddenly updates/upgrades/gets the package I want.
Example 2: I open firefox, my homepage www.todist.com will not show up unless I traceroute todoist.com!
I'm on a wireless dhcp connection, and am using netcfg2 to manage my interfaces.
I have an intel-pro-wireless 3945abg card, using module iwl3945.
I used
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide and
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_Profiles to get to where I am now.
Code snippets:
rc.conf: http://pastebin.com/mba53b3b
netcfg2 network profile: http://pastebin.com/m2fab5e05
I'm currently strapped for time, but any response is *highly* appreciated. Just ask if you need more configs/outputs and I'll put them up asap, but atm, I'm late.
Confused as buggery
