After two different problems with my wireless card i have finally almost gotten it to work. I am capable of connecting to my router, but every time i run dhcpcd eth1 it times out at broadcasting for a lease
rc.conf Network part
eth1="dhcp"
eth0="dhcp"
interfaces=(eth1 eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.2.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)
iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"sputnik"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.457 Acces Point:00:25:3C:**:56:** (stars are to hide what i think is mac address...)
Bit Rate:54Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Sensitivity=8/0
Retry limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:yadda yadda yadda Security mode:open
Power Management:off
Link Quality=86/100 Signal level=-44 dBm Noise level=-85 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:1443 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Miseed beacon:8
I've also tried the
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.2
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
example from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … nual_setup but after when i ping google i get unknown host. So maybe im just missing a step. Also if you need any command outputs just ask and i'll respond once i notice.

What do you have in /etc/resolv.conf ?
You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.

Hi,
Just after a quick read:
gateway="default gw 192.168.2.1"
and
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.2
Check - perhaps it can help - the two last entries in the IP addresses. As an example 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.2.1 may not be able to "see" each other...one of the two needs to be changed...the choice is yours
Had the same with a print server, it came with IP address 192.168.0.1, my LAN is at 192.168.1.x, noticed the diffrerence?
Possibly a networking thing...

Well in /etc/resolv.conf i have
#Generated by dhcpcd
#/etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
#/etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line.
And for the other answer the ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.2 was just the example, I was using ifconfig eth1 192.168.2.25. and im guessing 192.168.2.1 is my df gateway because thats what i type in a url bar to acces the router.

Foxhead,
your resolv.conf must contain the IP of the Name server. This is mostly the local router, in your case seems to be 192.168.2.1.
You can also use an open DNS server, f.e 8.8.8.8 (Google)
So resolv.conf should contain
nameserver 192.168.1.2
or
nameserver 8.8.8.8

Well i tried adding that but it still didn't work, but this time i think i found the problem. I tried pinging my router:
ping -c 3 192.168.2.1
and got Destination Host Unreachable. So I don't know what that means.

Foxhead,
that means that either your router does not have that address or your machine doesn't have an IP address.
What is the output of "ifconfig" ?
192.168.2.1 is perfectly allowed for a router but unusual in factory configurations, they normally use 192.168.0.1 or
192.168.1.1. Or did you configure it ?

I would attempt to set up a static connection and see if that works. If it does, you know that you are actually connecting to your router, and that their is actually a DHCP problem.

ifconfig

Thats all thats needed. For some reason eth0 and eth1 changed places... kind of weird. and im pretty sure its 192.168.2.1 and i did try to set up a static connection and it didnt work

K i've realized that it's just not registering with the router, i ran the command ifconfig eth1(it changed again) 192.168.2.45 and then route add df gateway 192.168.2.1 and then on my other computer, i went to 192.168.2.1 in the browser and under connected devices 192.168.2.45 did not show up.
