Installer can't load network via DHCP

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to install Arch, but the installer won't recognize my ethernet card.  I have also used the core installer and installed the basic Arch setup, but I also could not get the network to work.  I have an Intel ethernet card using the e1000e ethernet module, which is already loaded.  During install, I get a "Transient Resolver Failure" error message when trying to use Pacman.  I tried to use the information that my home server, running Debian, uses for its gateway (192.168.1.1), in my /etc/rc.conf, but that didn't seem to help.  When I run "route" as root, the table is empty, but commands that I found on here don't seem to add any routes.
Any suggestions you all have would be most appreciated. Let me know if you need any more information from me; I'm more than willing to provide it.

I assume the correct driver was detected and loaded for your ethernet controller, as you mention the e1000e module. Does this affect _only_ pacman?
If so look here: Arch Linux Forums
Otherwise try bringing the interface up manually: ifconfig [ethernet device] [ip address] up; route add default gw [gateway ip]; echo nameserver [dns server ip] >> /cet/resolv.conf
[stff]Hint: Searching the forum for the term "Transient Resolver Failure" may have been a reasonable idea before posting.[/stff]

  • Can't load Network Settings from System Preferences

    For some reason I can't load Network Settings from System Preferences anymore - it just stalls with the bar showing "Loading Network" and doing nothing. This is happening in conjunction with a new inability to connect to a network printer - it won't show up on the list of printers, even when I manually enter the IP address. Something is obviously mucked up - can anyone tell me what it might be & how I can fix it? Thanks!

    I was able to fix this myself by using one of the techniques suggested here for a different problem. Basically I went into Library/Preferences/System Configuration and deleted networkinterfaces.plist, preferences.plist & com.apple.nat.plist. All were rebuilt when I restarted and went to System Preferences/Network and I was able to load the Network Settings. This didn't fix the problem with my printer, but at least it got the settings up.

  • Can't load network preferences!

  • Can't load webpages via wireless lan

    Hi Guys,
    Got a bit of a problem and was looking for some suggestions.
    I've been using my 24" iMac via wireless (802.11g) for internet access for about the last year without any problems, but this week its giving me lot's of trouble.
    Here's the situation:
    - Connecting to a Netgear wireless router/adsl2+ modem.
    - I can connect to the WLAN ok but when I try to load a website in either Safari or Firefox, it looks like it is going to load but just stops and sits there indefinitely.
    - If I plug in a LAN cable it all works perfectly.
    - I can connect using my Vista laptop and it works fine.
    - I thought it might be a DNS issue, but I can open Terminal and ping websites successfully. I can also ftp to a few sites using the command line.
    - I've obviously tried rebooting the computer, router etc. I also tried disabling MAC address filtering and WPA.
    So I'm kind of at a loss at the moment. I haven't installed or changed anything because I used it to browse the web a few days ago and didn't use it until this morning when I found this problem.
    I haven't had much time to try anything else so I'll be troubleshooting more when I get home. Just wondered if anyone had some things I can try.
    Thanks heaps for you help.
    Cheers

    Don't worry I figured it out. I seem to have jumped the gun in thinking that it was working via ethernet cable and not with the wireless because neither were working. I thought the ethernet was working but it had just cached google and a few other sites I think.
    Ended up factory resetting the router and all is well.
    Thanks for looking.

  • Can't load Mavericks.

    Hello, I can't load Mavericks via app store.
    This is my MacBook.
    MacbookPro 6,2
    10.6.8
    (2010)
    Snow Leopard.
    Please help, don`t know what to do.

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Do you have all of the above? Your model number and OD look good.
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

    What happens when you try to download? Error message?

  • Can I create a static IP on our iPad when our network uses DHCP?

    iPad/Touch connectivity was great until Charter upgraded our router to an SMCd3gn yesterday. We like what the router does for all our other Macs but the mobiles are not happy. I've read about the glories of giving them a static IP but I can't figure out how to do it when our network is DHCP. Do I use the IP address currently assigned on the DHCP screen? The other thing is that we have to use OpenDNS numbers on all the computers or the router is extremely slow, unlike the old one so it's definitely the router. Does this complicate things? If I can make the iPad static could someone tell me what goes where? Surprisingly, this is not yet on the web.

    If you assign a static IP address to the iPad then you must choose it so that your router will not assign it to another device via DHCP. Check the router configuration to see which addresses are being used for which purpose.

  • Can I load VLAN's via tftp to startup?

    Can I load the 3 VLAN's I want to create on a router just by adding them to the tftp config I upload to startup? I keep getting an error.
    Here is whats at the top of my tftp config file:
    ! ===============================================
    ! Company DHCP Remote Site Config Script
    ! Pay attention to Spaces and Non Spaces!!
    ! DHCP SITES MUST USE 12.4(4)4T CODE!!!!!
    ! ===============================================
    vlan database
    vlan 1
    vlan 2
    vlan 3

    service password-encryption
    hostname 1234
    boot-start-marker
    boot-end-marker
    no parser cache
    no service config
    ~snip~

    12.4(9)T means you have a router with an etherswitch network module. What kind of NM is it? If you have an NME-16ES or any NME, this is a switch module equivalent to an external 3750 and it has it's own IOS, configuration and NVRAM - it's a switch in a module.
    Here are more info on that NME, in case it's what you have:

  • MacBook can't find network printers or servers via Airport Express

    My MacBook won't see my Laserjet 6MP (connected thru JetDirect) using either Appletalk (active on Airport but not on Ethernet) or IP Printing (via LDP). I just updated to 10.4.6 and it still doesn't work. I'm using an Airport Express which is connected to an office ethernet network via Belkin Router.
    I do get a good internet connection but interestingly enough, when I try to see the other computers on the network, they don't show up in the "Network" window. However, if I type in their IP addresses in the "connect to server" window, they show up just fine. I get the same results on an iBook G3 (which connects to everything properly when I use a hardwire Ethernet instead of Airport).
    Any idea what might be going on?

    SUCCESS! I just got off the phone with one of the head printer engineers at Hewlett Packard. The basic problem was that BOTH the Belkin router and the Airport Express were supplying IP addresses via DHCP and they were fighting with each other. Using Airport Admin Utitlity, I turned off "Distribute IP Adresses" in the Network Tab. Basically, this turns the Airport Express into a repeater for the Ethernet router.
    Now the MacBook is getting it's IP address from the Ethernet router, as is the printer, and everything is fine. All computerS, wired and wireless, can see each other in the network browser and print to all the printers.

  • Clients can not obtain an ip-address via DHCP.

    HI all, I would like to share one problem with WLC 5508 .
    we added a new virtual interface on the WLC. One new SSID is associated with this interface.
    We created a ACL for this interface to restrict the access via WIFI to certian services.
    The following services are allowed on this ACL:
    TCP-Traffic for HTTPS
    UDP-Traffic for DNS
    UDP-Traffic for DHCP
    TCP-Traffic for HTTP
    ICMP-Traffic
    TCP-Traffic for CITRIX
    The Problem is, as soon as we add a new service to this ACL, we need to reboot the Controller because the Clients which are working over WIFI do not get a IP-Address assigned via DHCP.
    It´s not correct that everything works fine because the change were not applied.
    The changes of the ACL are applied on the fly, but for reason we don´t know, the clients don´t get a DHCP IP-Address (after changing the ACL) until the Controller is rebooted.
    I am attaching configruation from affected wlc
    thank you

    If shop is coming from a server on the LAN you need to add DHCP as a port they can reach.

  • Wifi can't connect to home network but can to school network and via ethernet

    My MBP cannot connect to any of my home networks (we have three, same ISP but not the same security) but it can connect to my unsecured school network and to my home network via ethernet cable. Other devices can connect to the network, including my iPhone, my fathers machines... etc.
    I spent an hour on the phone with apple care and tried a large variety of things...
    Changing my DNS settings to add 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
    deleting the .plist settings in my system config folder
    running diagnostics 500 times
    restarting
    reinstalling mt.lion (without wipe)
    restarting the router
    and a lot more.
    Basically, it says I have full internet access and diagnostics tells me there is nothing wrong. Green light and everything but not a single program can connect to the internet while I can connect to home based servers.
    I cannot ping anything and I cannot access any websites using either their IP or their domain name.
    Needless to say, this has been getting quite frusterating and I'm running out of ideas.

    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
    Test. After testing, reboot as usual and post the results.

  • Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered  not accepted

    Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted
    Trying to help my son set up his ipod touch to connect to the network and the password I entered is not accepted.
    1. Which password is required? I entered the password I use for logging into my router
    2. The home network is recognized, when selected it requires a password to be entered, but I am just not sure what password it is looking for to connect.
    I have not been able to find any information on this subject

    jersey0904, Welcome to the discussion area!
    You need to enter the wireless encryption password... not the administrative password for the router.

  • Can't network via Airport Extreme

    Hello,
    Just bought an AEBS today. The setup seemed to go well; I can print and surf the web wirelessly from the iBook now.
    My only problem is I can't figure out how to establish a network between the two computers. The G5 doesn't have an airport card, it is wired via ethernet, and for that reason I can't use network preferences to do what the Help topic tells me: "Click AirPort and make sure the "Allow this computer to create networks" checkbox is selected."
    Thanks in advance for the help...
    G5 Dual 2 GHz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Giant, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Assuming that your connection is like this:
    Internet-> [WAN] AEBS [LAN]--> G5
    All you need to do is enable File Sharing on the iBook. Then the G5 should be able to see and access the iBook.
    If you want to see the G5 from the iBook, enable File Sharing on the G5.
