Networking problem [fixed[

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.


rc.conf

#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# NETWORKING
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
HOSTNAME="myhost"
#
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
#   - prefix an entry in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it
#   - no hyphens in your interface names - Bash doesn't like it
#
# Note: to use DHCP, set your interface to be "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
#
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.0.128 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.225"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
#
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
#   - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
#
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.100"
ROUTES=(gateway)
#
# Enable these network profiles at boot-up.  These are only useful
# if you happen to need multiple network configurations (ie, laptop users)
#   - set to 'menu' to present a menu during boot-up (dialog package required)
#   - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
#
# Network profiles are found in /etc/network-profiles
#
#NET_PROFILES=(main)

resolv.conf

#
# /etc/resolv.conf
#

#search <yourdomain>
#nameserver <ip>

search pittpa.adelphia.net
nameserver 68.168.64.23
nameserver 68.168.64.24

# End of file

host

#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#

#<ip>    <hostname>    <hostname>
127.0.0.1        localhost.localdomain localhost

# End of file

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

Re: Networking problem [fixed[

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

Re: Networking problem [fixed[

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 wink

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 smile. Again, thanks!
