Dhcp doesnt work anymore

cambex · 2008-09-27 15:31:41

Internet works alright on windows.
resolv.conf has the gw and dns ips
rc.conf has the eth0=dhcp
the network was functioning while i was installing stuff (xorg, kde, etc...)
when i rebooted the system.....

eth0 cant get ip through dhcp (timeout)
and uses the standard ip 169.254.6.192

im running arch on a msi wind U100 laptop

gw = 10.1.1.1

i just cant figure out whats the problem here =/

What was the last thing you changed right before you rebooted the system? Oh and uh ( i dont know how linux savvy you are) a lil tip I learned the hard way but TRUST me this will save you in the long run.. I dunno if you installed multiple packages at once, but if you download like a very high level package like Xorg or KDE.. after setting it up, reboot it instead of jumping to another one, it will make tracking down your problem easier..

i installed the core version, i had done all the configuring process, then i rebooted (internet working).

i installed stuff fallowing the beginners guide.

after i installed everything in the guide i rebooted and the eth0 interface could not get an ip anymore.

I did not changed network configuration after the first reboot

Are using a wireless or cabled connection?
Also, could it be a router problem, which incidentally dovetailed with your last upgrade?

cabled conection

i dont think its a router problem. ill try to reinstall arch today and see what happens

I wonder if it has to do with the dhcpd update (it jumped to 4.0.x in the last two days)?

Check ur network daemon in/etc/rc.conf to see if it's still loading. If it is try restarting it with /etc/rc.d/network.
Then ping something like ping -c 3 www.google.com

Check you /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd... if you have "-R" in your "DHCPCD_ARGS" try to remove it.

Well, mine stopped working too on reboot after an update. Gert's solution probably would have worked, but instead I just installed dhcpd-3.2.1-1. and it works just fine.

cambex · 2008-09-28 05:27:45

ok
i installed the core version and rebooted the pc
network was ok, i got a 10.1.1.2 ip
i just did this commands while using internet

pacman -Ssy
pacman -Syu
adduser
visudo

rebooted

dhcp just timed out and network isnt up anymore

any ideas?

i friend told it could be a kernel problem (i am on a msi wind)

cambex · 2008-09-29 02:59:52

Solution:

Upgrade using pacman -Syu
Install rtl8101 drivers
use netcfg to manage profiles

Having the same problem on my Acer Aspire One. Followed the beginners guide and the ArchWiki for the AAO. My 'eth0' is not recognized anymore. Running 'hwdetect --show-net' doesn't show the r8169 nic anymore. Comes back with ' mac80211 ath5k cfg80211' .Do i have to do a reinstall?
