Network times out after FTP installation

So Arch somehow managed to automatically set up my networking for the FTP installation (wired lan, dhcp, dynamic IP), but now, network times out at boot. dhcpcd eth0 will also time out. When I try to change the default gateway in /etc/rc.conf and restart networking with /etc/rc.d/network restart, I get the "SIOCADDRT no such process" error, and, again, the whole thing times out. Same thing if I just change the default gateway and reboot.

I'm trying to get this working with a single box available, and it's getting a little bit frustrating booting between my arch install attempt and my Debian install with perfectly working networking.

Re: Network times out after FTP installation

I had problems with DHCP and I solved them by switchint to dhclient instead of dhcpcd. Some people have reported success with a newer version of dhcpcd (v4.0.7 and up).

I think it could be a problem to update your system without a network connection, so you might be intrested in the RC2-images of the soon to come Arch Linux 2009.02: http://dev.archlinux.org/~aaron/archiso/ - These will be final soon. I don't think there are showstoppers. The only recent discussion I have seen is whether we should wait for a newer version of fs-utils (to support ext4-operations) and whether to include (outdated/updated/bare) documentation or not.

Zl.

Re: Network times out after FTP installation

I've done just that, and the networking now works, thanks!

However, I should note, it appears that network will either work or not work, randomly, at boot. If it works, it's fine, and if it doesn't work, it will time out and everything I've written above still can't get it to work and I have to reboot once or twice before it works again.
