Hi everyone, this may not be an arch problem, but has come up only recently, (a few weeks after installing Arch.)
On my desktop I still dual-boot with XP. What's happening is that my network connection is not really working on the desktop. Other computers in the house (including my eeepc with arch) connect without a problem. In both XP and Arch, I cannot browse the web on the desktop.
In Arch a connection is made, and my router sees the computer and assigns an IP address, but most internet traffic does not get through. ie: cannot acces any web pages/ pacman but not entirely cut off, (see ping results below.)
Here is the output from ifconfig:
Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:80:37:FE:61
inet addr:192.168.0.103 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

When I try to ping and address such as google.com I get something around 80-90% packet loss.
Is is possible that this is just a hardware problem? Or is something configured wrong. Oh right, and plugging the ethernet cable from the desktop into my laptop works fine. No connection problems, 0% packet loss.
Thanks for the help,
Rudy

Is there a difference between
ping www.google.com and ping 209.85.129.104?
This may be a dns issue if the second works but the first doesn't.

The same thing happens with ip address instead of URL's. Also the problem persists when trying to connect to local IPs such as other computers on the network, and the router.

Did you try to disable IPv6? It is reported to sometimes cause problems.
