[solved] network

babalu_pt · 2010-04-19 19:50:08

Hi all,

I've been trying to set network working on my desktop but haven't been succeeded till now..

I noticed a weird situation (at least to me)
if I do ping google: ping -c 3 www.google.com
I'll get in the final statistics time = 11149ms
but if I do ping google as : ping -c 3 209.85.229.147
I'll get time = 2003 ms

>.< hope anyone knows what's wrong so I can fix this

tks in advance for your time

How did you setup your network?

Your description sounds like you are having DNS problems.

babalu_pt · 2010-04-19 20:13:42

atm I disabled network daemon and installed wicd.. but I was having the very same problem before.

By configuring wicd I was hopping that the problem would desapier since (I think) wicd does the config for me.

Edit:
By the way.. my computer is connected to a router. all I've been trying to do was setting up dinamic IP or static IP (as very noob never managed to set static one to work lol). as I couldnt set it to work ok I went on wicd >.<

So you are connecting to a wired network? Tell us more about your environment.

And please post the contents of your /etc/resolv.conf

cat /etc/resolv.conf

Try to configure your DNS servers manually and try the ones from your ISP and maybe some of google or whoever you trust. Google's are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

babalu_pt · 2010-04-19 20:26:12

cat /etc/resolv.conf

# Generated by dhcp from eth0
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
nameserver 10.10.10.1
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line

Add it, it will make no harm. Also, check the ping response time of both servers: if they are too slow you should try different ones.

no difference

I've just used the dig command and ran on both IP's and both answers were imidiat and with correct ip's which works ok when I ping them. >.<
seems my desktop doesnt like me lOl

If there is any other thing u wanna see...

I'll try now avoid my router DNS service and try it out here >.< *prays that'll work* lol

babalu_pt · 2010-04-20 22:07:18

First of all I wanna say tks for all that gave me some replies >.<

apparently I got this working
steps I've done ..

1st remove wicd and reactivate network
2nd setup static IP
3nd deactivate resolv.conf update
4th set nameservers manually

this is my actual config:
rc.conf:

#
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
#

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# HARDWARE
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
MODULES=(!net-pf-10 !snd_pcsp !pcspkr loop sis900 !mii !ppp_generic !slhc !soundcore)
# one of the 1st things I've done ( heading to solve the problem ) was only load the module I wanted to use 
# so I ran hwdetect --show-net to see what it'd show (mii ppp_generic sis900 slhc)
# so I loaded the sis900 and discarded all others... dunno if it has any influence but I did :)
# have I done the correct thing?

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# NETWORKING
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
HOSTNAME="arch"

#Static IP
eth0="eth0 10.10.10.171 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.10.10.255"
INTERFACES=(eth0 !wlan0)

gateway="default gw 10.10.10.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# DAEMONS
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
DAEMONS=(network dhcdbd !networkmanager @syslog-ng gpm netfs @crond dbus hal oss !wicd)
# here I did discarded wicd and set back network :)

I only pasted the things that I've changed to set up network.. all others erased them

//

then I disabled the nameserver refresh at /etc/dhcpd.conf

# A sample configuration for dhcpcd.
# See dhcpcd.conf(5) for details.

# Inform the DHCP server of our hostname for DDNS.
hostname
# To share the DHCP lease across OSX and Windows a ClientID is needed.
# Enabling this may get a different lease than the kernel DHCP client.
# Some upstream DHCP servers may also require a ClientID, such as FRITZ!Box.
#clientid

# A list of options to request from the DHCP server.
option domain_name_servers, domain_name, domain_search, host_name
option classless_static_routes
# Most distributions have NTP support.
option ntp_servers
# Respect the network MTU.
option interface_mtu
# A ServerID is required by RFC2131.
require dhcp_server_identifier

# A hook script is provided to lookup the hostname if not set by the DHCP
# server, but it should not be run by default.
nohook lookup-hostname
noipv4ll
nohook resolv.conf

I just added this last line

then I set up nameservers manualy at /etc/resolv.conf

# Generated by dhcpcd
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
nameserver 212.55.154.174
nameserver 212.55.154.190
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line

this way it's all working apparently fine
if there is any thing that I've done worng pls correct me.. so I won't have troubles in the future

ps. I guess all I needed to do was to set the nohook at dhcpd.conf and set the nameservers manualy... but I feel ok with the static ip tougth I had to try till make it to work
