So i've having some problems with connecting to my wireless network using netcfg. I've found out that increaseing the amount of "DHCP_TIMEOUT" probably will svolve the problem. Only thing is i don't know where to find "DHCP_TIMEOUT" . anyone?

You just put it in your config file for the network profile you would like to adjust the dhcp profile on.

Are you sure? Cuase that doesn't help.

Nope, that didn't do it either
this is what the wiki told me to do;
Unable to get IP address with DHCP
This is typically one of:
* Out of range/reception
Try increasing DHCP_TIMEOUT
From what i understood, there already is a value put in for "DHCP_TIMEOUT" somewhere, and i have to increase that value. But im really new to arch (and manually configurating linux in general) so I might be wrong.

Hmm. No that did not work either. There was no DHCP_TIMEOUT value there from before, so i just pasted in DHCP_TIMEOUT=20 (as i read it should be something above 10).
I'm no 100% this is the problem either, but I have been told that this is the most likely problem.
this si the error message i get;
- DHCP IP lease attempt failed

I take it you do have a dhcp server on your network. Silly question but must be asked.
try running dhcpcd from the command line, see what results you get. Also try the dhcpcd manual by tryping man dhcpd.conf
Feel free to ask more questions, but I am now a bit stumped with the available information
Good Luck

Thanks for all your help so far
im sorry i don't even know what it means to set up a dhcp server
typing dhcp in terminal i get
dhcpcd: version 5.0.4 starting
dhcpcd: forking to background

Yes to both
I have both a wndows installation and a ubuntu installation flawlessly with my wireless network
about the dhcp-server question you asked; I have set my router to use dhcp and not static ip or anything, if that's what you meant.

try netcfg from testing

It still doesn't work , but now I get another error message
- No connection
And then it disables my wireless-card (the blue light that indicates the card is on/active, turns red, which means it's off/disbaled)

Anyone?
im running netcfg v2.2.0b2. The network profile that i am using is
CONNECTION="wireless"
INTERFACE=wlan0
SCAN="yes"
SECURITY="wpa2"
ESSID="HaldNede"
KEY="key"
IP="dhcp"
TIMEOUT=30
and the output is just a simple
- No connection
followed by [FAIL]
Please ask me for more info if that it needed.

How would i get the b3-package? I can't find it in any of the repos (testing/core). The newest i can install is netcfg-2.2.0b2-1.

It's in the repos, your mirrors must be very out of date.
