hello, im new to arch...
i was using ubuntu (fluxbox on top of minimal iso) then i downloaded arch and installed it with no problems
but, wen i login first time and ping www.google.com it says unknown host.
YES i have read begginers guide, and i know about rc.conf, but i dont realized how to configure network... in winxp and ubuntu it was automatically configured... i have dsl with automatic ip adress (im not really educated about this)
this is what i got from my isp : IP 192.168.1.4, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, default getaway : 192.168.1.1, prefered dns server: 62.168.168.2, alternate dns server: 62.168.168.5.
i use SiS ethernet driver, if that metters.
so i wrote these numbers in rc.conf according to begginers wiki (i think), but still nothing.
can anyone help me? how should i edit rc.conf?
sorry for my english, im from georgia.. and thanx in advance...

in /etc/rc.conf put:
eth0="eth0 192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)
and in /etc/resolv.conf :
nameserver 62.168.168.2
nameserver 62.168.168.5
or if you want automatic configuration put in rc.conf
eth0="dhcp"

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

i forgot to put:
interface=(lo eth0)
don't comment it. you need that.
unknown host is when domain.com isn't resolved. try ping an IP, google.com has 64.233.187.99
maybe i'm not understanting your network. you have adsl or you have direct connection?try to explain how do you configure you internet connection under windows
