How do I configure the network in arch linux in virtuabox 3.0? I have
I think ifconfig says I have an ip address, but for some reason, pacman -Sy keeps failing to resolve the address. All I have installed now is the base system; I haven't been able to install any graphical environment yet because I can't download anything from the repository. Any help here? I really need this working!

Are you sure your network adapter is set-up correctly in VirtualBox from the host side?

Try following this article about VirtualBox. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vir … AT_network you probably already used this howto, but maybe not... There was so many useful stuff I had no idea about.
Linux!

check resolv.conf for correct DNS server entries.

Host networking is now very simple in VBox - I'd recommend using that instead, although I doubt it will fix your problem. It does remove the complication of the Internet connection of the VM being NAT'ed twice.

I had this problem also. A quick fix is to go to network settings under the arch virtual machine entry, and select bridged adapter instead of NAT. That should fix everything up
