Good morning everyone
Installing Arch in a VM to check it out before I commit
following guide here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide
after install and reboot I enter:
ping -c 3 www.google.com
result is
ping: unknown host www.google.com
Networking section of /etc/rc.conf is as follows:
HOSTNAME="mythos"
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
and /etc/hosts is:
#
# /etc/hosts: static lookuptable for hostnames
#
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost mythos
Everything seems correct, am I missing something?

localhost.localdomain maybe?

Can you ping your router and 64.233.183.99? If so, check your dns in /etc/resolv.conf. If no, check your routing $(route)

You probably don't have an ip at all. Do you have multiple network interfaces, or a firewire card? Try dhcpcd eth[0..n] untill you get a responce.

tells me command not found. I am running this in a virtual machine inside of ubuntu 8.10
at the bottom of VM I see a network icon and it says:
Adapter 1 (NAT) cable connected

Check that you $PATH includes /sbin and /usr/sbin. (or call dhcpcd with it's full path.)

Still it tells me no known command. I am currently resizing a partition to use for Arch. I'm going to install it there and see if I get the same issue.

Uhm, sounds like you didn't install dhcpcd the, and in that case, no wounder that your network didn't come up.

good point, trying again. the hard part for me is when I install packages. The names aren't exactly the most descriptive. But on a lighter note I won't give up, wanna make my own arch.
Update:
That did the trick Mr.Elendig. Thank you for pointing that mistake out. Have xfce4 installed on top of it all so far.
Now going to go figure out how to get a web browser installed on arch.
