Why can't i download files

i have recently installed internet on mt arch system (not here), and i can't 'ping' just fine, but for some reason i can't download files, any files, not with wget, and of course pacman doesn't work...

My motherboard is ASUS P5QL-E. i had to download external drivers from ASUS site, and i'm using dhcp to connect.

Thanks in advance!

Hi.

Could this be a DNS problem? Can you ping hosts by their name? And the other way 'round: can you access websites by IP?
Hope this helps

If your using DHCP, your resolv.conf  needs to have your router's IP as a nameserver.

nameserver 192.168.0.1

is what I have.
