[SOLVED] Network won't work after install

Hi

I've installed arch on a lot of different computers without any trouble. But now I'm trying to install it on a intel mini-ITX board with an atom processor and integrated network. When setting up the network during the install it downloads and installs the packages perfectly fine, but when the installation is finished and I reboot into my new system the network wont work.

If I try to ping my gateway at 192.168.1.1 it just says that the network is unreachable.

The ifconfig shows the following for eth0:
Link encap:Ethernet  HWAddr 00:27:0E:05:AC:47
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 overruns:0 frame:0
collisions:0 TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:28 Base address:0xe000

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks
//Lasse

What happens if you try to restart your network daemon?
Are you set up with DHCP or a set address?

Sorry I've been away for a couple of days, but it's solved now it was something in the hosts file which weren't correct.
Thanks for the reply though!
