[solved]eth0: timed out

Hi,

I am having problems getting internet connection bia ethernet.

I have no way of posting the exact files from the arch box, but here is my rc.conf network part:

eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
ROUTES=(!gateway)

And i can not connect

It always says it timed out.

Re: [solved]eth0: timed out

What is your router's IP address?  That will be your gateway's address, and before the "ROUTES=(!gateway)" line, you need to put this:

gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"

where 192.168.0.1 is the router's IP address; yours may differ (mine is 192.168.1.1, for example).

and it should connect.  Also, you should make sure that the "network" daemon is up and running and is in the DAEMONS section at the bottom of /etc/rc.conf.
