Hi all. New to Arch and Linux (but learning!). I installed Windows 7 on the computer first, followed by Arch. Everything seems to have installed fine (i have completely run through the Beginner's guide), with one exception - the network configuration got messed up somewhere, as I can't get seem to get internet while running Windows. I am capable of pinging google while running Arch, but cannot on Windows. Not sure where I messed up, please advise. Let me know what information you need (and, if it's not very obvious, how I can find it) and I promise to post back ASAP.
EDIT: Connecting to the internet through both wireless and wired connections worked before installing Arch. Now, it'll still say "Connected", but with "No Internet Access"

Google for rfkill, that's a possibility.

That's not how it works with Arch......

Install the drivers for your network cards under Windows? Doesn't seem archlinux related...

I meant more in the example of: You needed to see how a certain config file was set up; I was unsure of which one you meant, you just say the directory so I can pull the information you need. Ran rfkill, nothing was blocked.

Wireless/Wired connections were working prior to Arch install, sorry - should've mentioned that. Unless you mean to reinstall the drivers, as Arch might have messed with something (not sure how that would affect drivers though)?

Heeeey, I'm an idiot. Just had to manually set my IP address/mask/gateway on Win7. Not sure what caused this. Thanks anyway!
