[Solved] Network setup issues
I am having strange problems with my network setup. In general I have no internet access. When I run "pacman -Syu" it just stops after "Synchronizing pacman databases...". However, if I first ping the mirror I want to use the everything works. Adding the debug messages in pacman's output and switching the download to wget suggest that there is a problem resolving the hosts ip address.
My network part of /etc/rc.conf looks like
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
ROUTES=(!gateway)I really have no idea what is going on and I haven't even started on the wireless network yet!
My ethernet card is a Broadcom 4400 10/100BaseT Ethernet and the modules b44 and mii were correctly loaded.

Re: [Solved] Network setup issues
Should be a DNS problem.
Are yo able to ping www.archlinux.org?
If not, check the /etc/resolv.conf file to see if you have a nameserver inside.

Re: [Solved] Network setup issues
I can ping www.archlinux.org. The file /etc/resolv.conf has "nameserver 10.1.1.1" in it.
I have also tried adding "echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling" to /etc/rc.local but that does not fix the problem.
It look like I have this problem http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 11250.html . I has exactly the same network card.

Re: [Solved] Network setup issues
OK, this is really strange...
I can browse the web using Lynx - not with firefox. I can attempt to ssh into my server only after I ping it (much like using pacman) but cannot get past the password entering stage.
Any ideas?
I have been searching all day and still have no internet. I'm going to download a live-CD (Ubuntu?) tonight and see if I network access through that.
[EDIT]
SOLVED! It turns out I needed to update my routers firmware. Strange that it gave similar symptoms the the TCP window scaling issue.
