Re: wired network

From what I can see, you simply omitted to add your host name in this line of the /etc/hosts file:

#<ip-address>    <hostname.domain.org>    <hostname>
127.0.0.1        localhost.localdomain    localhost

According to your rc.conf file, your host name is "myhost", so just modify it like this:

#<ip-address>    <hostname.domain.org>    <hostname>
127.0.0.1        localhost.localdomain    localhost      myhost

Hope this helps,
Ghoti

Re: wired network

You posted that your gateway is 10.10.12.1 so your /etc/resolv.conf file should not say 10.10.0.1 but 10.10.12.1

Re: wired network

Did as you instructed. And now we are withing touching distance of getting this to work.
There still remains a problem. No internet. But it is not so bad. Let me explain.
When, the net is connected and working, I have to open a browser, and type, any address. If i am not logged into my account, my service provider's login page appears, and then i feed in my username and password, and my net is working!
On arch, i couldn't even do this much.
But after, all this configuration, I can see my service provider's login page and can actually log into my account. but not as a page redirect. i have to type the specific url of that page, to bring it up.
however, even after logging in, no other site works. and even "ping www.google.com" in the terminal shows an unknown host error. pacman -Syu, still doesn't work. which means the connection is only limited to me accessing my login page, and no more!
But this is still improvement....we are actually getting somewhere!!!
Please just see me through this much.

Re: wired network

I'm not sure I understand any of this later explanation.
Do you use a ppt connection to access your ISP, are you using a DSL or modem of some type?

Where is the modem connected, to the router?

Re: wired network

Resurrecting a long expired thread.

What is the address you're typing in?  It sounds to me like you're reaching the modem's user interface.

Re: wired network

10.10.0.1/24online/webpages/client.jsp
is the address that gets me there.
