<Solved> Internet Connection Broken.

Hi all,

I can no longer connect to my school dhcp internet connection. All was working up until this afternoon when I restarted my laptop. The only package update I remember installing today was iproute2, pacman told me it would replace iproute and I agreed. Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but it sounds internet related.

Conky shows me as having a network connection, with activity and an IP; but I cannot ping from terminal or use internet in browser. Wireless was working when I was in class.

Land connection is fine in XP.

(Maybe this is a separate issue, just in case this is also relevant, when I start up Arch, and this also was just today; fusion-icon seems to start incorrectly. AWN pops up before anything, and then disappears after fusion-icon starts; I have to reload the window manager from fusion-icon to get things working properly)

Any ideas?

Now even stranger:
I went to the library to use the wireless; tryed re-installing all the packages in pacman, plugged in after, and walla - wired internet worked.
Walked back to my residence. Plugged in....and it didn't work. Tryed plugging in different access points - nothing. My desktop running ubuntu server in my room has wired internet working :S.
Came back to the library, and wired works - so I don't think it's anything to do with Arch. Must be something strange happening with my access point in res.
Now I am perplexed...and annoyed.
