Help:network problem

I have installed arch, but I haven't installed X windows. And I have configured my network, but it's not working.
I'm using my laptop in the campus, when I ping an IP address in the same building, I can recieve the packages.
But when I ping an IP that's outside the building in the campus, I can't recieve packages.
When I use pppoe to connect to the internet, it displays "Link is down(can't read pppoe PID file /var/run/pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid.pppoe)".
Please help. Thanks a lot.

Re: Help:network problem

The IP addresses in my building are 10.85.*.*
the /etc/rc.conf is
HOSTNAME="Y"
eth0="eth0 10.85.*.<my ip> netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 255.255.255.255"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
gateway="default gw 10.85.*.254"
ROUTES=(gateway)

and the /etc/resolv.conf is:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain Y

I don't know whether it's wrong.
