dhcp not working and static ip neither...

mimoro · 2010-04-09 15:24:28

Hello,

I am new to Archlinux, and I have a problem to set up my internet connection. My router is set up as "act as a dhcp server" but when I do all the setting for a dhcp connection it doesn't work i.e
/etc/rc.conf
HOSTNAME="marie"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
#gateway=...
ROUTES=(!gateway)

So I tryed to set my router to allow a static IP to my computer.
static IP : 192.168.13.8
I have the following LAN setting
IP adress 193.168.13.1
submask : 255.255.255.0
broadcast : 193.168.13.255(I suppose)
DNS:?? I set it up to 193.168.1 since it appears like that when I connect an other computer to the router
gateway : 193.168.13.1

so in /etc/rc.conf
HOSTNAME="marie"
eth0="eth0 192.168.13.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.13.255
INTERFACES=(eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.13.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

in /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost marie
192.168.13.8 marie.csbnet.se marie

in /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.13.1

when I ping the localhost it works
but when I ping something else it says "unknown host"
pacman doesn't work neither

I've googled a lot, and tried things but nothing really worked...

Thank you a lot for your help

Could you please post the output of 'ifconfig -a' and 'ps -ef | grep dhcp' ?/

It probably means that your nameserver is wrong ...
- and ... 193.168? There is some mistake here - it should be 192.168

Can you ping your gateway? (192.168.13.1)

@perbh
Sorry for the mistake its 192.168.... I checked my files and its 192.168.everywhere.

When I ping my gateway it says
PING 192.168.13.1 (192.168.13.1) 56(84) bytes of data
From 192.168.13.8 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
(and this last line again and again)

mimoro · 2010-04-09 17:30:24

I can add this information, about my router. And my router is registered on the network as
marie.csbnet.se
General Information

Maybe something wrong in domain name or DNS or...

What happens when you try 'sudo dhcpcd eth0' ?

This caught my eye as I read your post. Your router is (generally) NOT your nameserver. I would try commenting out that line and then restarting your network. Arch will write in the correct settings for you once your computer is assigned a local IP. Your nameserver is most likely your ISP and will be an address external to your home network.

mimoro · 2010-04-10 09:33:43

If I try the command "sudo dhspsd eth0"
it says
dhcpcd : version 5.0.6 starting
dhcpcd : eth0 : waiting for carrier
dhcpcd :timed out

and I also tried commenting the nameserver, but it doesn't work neither
Could it be something in the /etc/hosts file
I wrote
192.168.13.8 marie.csbnet.se marie
but I'm not sure because the router is registered as blabla.csbnet.se on the network so I'm not sure of this line.

cedeel · 2010-04-10 11:04:32

Do you have multiple network adapters in your computer?

mimoro · 2010-04-10 11:27:39

No I just have the ethernet card and wireless card

Hi there,

The line above makes me think you have a problem with your Ethernet cable. Have you checked it is correctly plugged on both side or tried with another cable ?

mimoro · 2010-04-10 13:26:22

We I plug it in an other computer it works fine..
Maybe the ethernet card??or?

NSB-fr · 2010-04-10 13:43:08

Yes, maybe the ethernet card.

Possibility to check it:
- Plug another PCI ethernet card to check if it come from your card or your conf.
- Try booting on the install CD and see if you can get an IP with the "dhcpcd eth0" command. If it works on the install CD the problem come from your conf.

What is the brand and model of your ethernet card by the way ? lspci may help you determine it
