i am on a campus, and i am using the linksys WRT54G2 router. it is plugged into the wall-ethernet. when i plug my ethernet cable into the router i get this ip address from dhcpcd:
192.168.1.102
thats a local address to my router. however it gives me no internet.
when i plug my ethernet directly into the wall i get another ip address that sends me to the internet just fine. (172.22.195.xx)
i've run live cd's of other linux distributions and they connected to the internet through the router just fine...so im not sure what im doing wrong with arch...ideas? i have been looking around and am completely baffled.
[edit: the router is setup for DHCP and so is my rc.conf]

> i get this ip address from dhcpcd
So dhcpcd on your computer is running, you get an IP but you can't f.e. ping things?
Post your rc.conf and resolv.conf please.
Run those commands and post the output:
ifconfig -a
route
su -c 'mii-tool -vv'Is it a fresh Arch install?

yes, it was a fresh install, and the problem was dhcpcd, dhclient works fine.
thanks.

one more thing...i ended up:
- disabling network on rc.conf,
- configured an ethernet profile in netcfg and used DHCLIENT="yes" in the profile,
- putting the ethernet profile in rc.conf
this way it didnt try to use dhcpcd automatically at startup
