Can't get past router

I did a base install via FTP.  The installer connected to the internet without any problems.  However, now that arch is installed I can't seem to connect or ping to the outside internet.  I can only ping to my router (192.168.0.1)

I'm not really sure what to do to get it working.  I tried adding the line "nameserver 192.168.0.1" to resov.conf, but no luck.

Re: Can't get past router

in rc.conf

#
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
#   (prefix a route in ROUTES with a ! to disable it)
#
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)

Uncomment (don't know if it's a comment, but just delete the ! ) gateway in the ROUTES array.

Re: Can't get past router

Great!  everythings works now.

All I had to do was modify rc.conf like you said.  (and resolv.conf, which I has already done)
