Well, this is my first install of Archlinux, I currently run Fedora on the same machine(for now). I was suprised to find ot that I had to configure my network manually on arch linux, but I figured... what the heck shouldn't be that hard. I suppose this is where I should've slapped myself because I cannot get it to work!! I did read this guide: http://www.archlinux.org/docs/en/guide/ … guide.html
so please don't refer me to it telling me to read it when I have already done so and still have no success.
Here are my configuration files!
Some useful information, I don't use a router. I use a cable modem that was provided to me by my isp. Adelphia, the cable modem is a Motorola - Surfboard.

Any help is much appreciated and I hope it's only a simply problem I am having.

I don't know anything about non-dhcp networking but you'll want to add your hostname "myhost" to the end of your /etc/hosts file like:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost myhost

Alright, I'll try that, although I am not completely sure if that will fix my problem or not. I'll boot into Arch now and see how it goes. Bbs

Oh, I didn't mean to suggest that it might help your problem. But it will help prevent future problems

Well, I got it working and thanks for the furture reference. Arch linux takes a bit to setup, but after a few hours of configuring I got my video card, alsa drivers, gdm, gnome and all my little things I sue to have on Fedora setup on Arch linux . Again, thanks!
