I have reinstalled Arch this afternoon only to run into a problem I have had in the past. My desktop is connected to a school network, which requires a user name and password. To solve this problem in the past I simply installed elinks from a usb drive. Today, when I run elinks I am told "Unable to retrieve http://www.google.com/: Host not found." I also cannot ping Google. Normally I would be redirect in elinks to the login site. I may very well be making a simple mistake as I am not terribly experienced with networking.

It looks like you're missing a dhcp client (dhcpcd or dhclient) in your daemons line.

Wow. Thank you. I can't believe I didn't think to check my daemons.
