[SOLVED] Only certain webpages are loaded with wired connection

Hi!

For some reason my Arch installation only loads certain webpages (Google, Twitter, Microsoft...). pacman also gives timeout when trying to update database or downloading packages. I'm using a netctl wired profile configured like this:

Description='A basic dhpc ethernet connection'
Interface=enp0s4
Connection=ethernet
IP=dhcp
TimeoutUp=300
TimeupCarrier=300

I load my configuration via netctl service and it uses dhcpd to asign IP. I don't think it is a problem with my ISP's DNS since it just work fine when connecting my laptop both via wireless and ethernet. Also, this PC works in dual boot and in Windows the ethernet connection works fine. Thanks in advance :)

Re: [SOLVED] Only certain webpages are loaded with wired connection

Have you tried using another package mirror with pacman?

Yep, I've used several mirrors. I don't think the problem is pacman-related.

I'm sorry, I must have missed that. It's just that you gave examples of websites where it worked, and then gave the example of pacman not working, so I was not sure if it was not simply pacman-related :-)

What do you mean with that? Simultaneously via WiFi and ethernet?
What is the output of these commands when it does not work?

ip route
cat /etc/resolv.conf
ip address
drill somewebsite.thatdoesnotwork.com

Re: [SOLVED] Only certain webpages are loaded with wired connection

So... this is "solved"  I guess. I've booted the PC and now it works perfectly, without doing anything. My guess is that it was conflicting with other device connected (probably the SmartTV). If it fails again, I'll reconfigure mi network setup, but now I know my PC is well configured. Thank you!
