Let's try this section of the article:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wp … icant.conf
See if that works for you. If not, let me know.
If it works, go ahead and update your system. I would also suggest the use of a network manager of your choice. I use currently Neworkmanager, but have also used wicd. Others swear by netcfg

that seems to work, packages are being sent and so forth.

so how do i get a browser running?

Install one

Okay, maybe it is not that simple. You can install links now. It is a text based browser that provides very basic browsing capability.

Other than that, I am going to refer you to the Beginner's Guide. You are at about section 4.2.
After installing Xorg, you can install Firefox, Chromium or Opera and run them from within Xorg. The basic Xorg installation is very, ur, basic. You will want to research Openbox, Gnome, KDE, xfce4, etc... and try one or more of those more full featured environments.

You still have a bit of work to do, but this subject has probably come to an end. If you agree, please edit your original post and add [SOLVED] to the thread title. Then, feel free to open another thread specifically directed at your next issue. This makes it much easier for others doing research on how to solve their problems find relevant threads.
