[Solved] Help Setting Samba Share In Qemu With XP Guest

Hello all,
After getting around all the quirks of setting an XP guest inside qemu, the only (though, pretty important) thing I can't solve is setting a samba share between the Arch host and the XP guest.
I tried whatever I could think of that's relevant, with no success:
Qemu is launched with:
qemu-system-x86_64 -machine type=pc,accel=kvm -cpu host -boot d -m 1024 -net user,smb={my home folder} -net nic,model=virtio -rtc base=localtime -drive file=XP.qcow2,if=virtio -spice port=5900,disable-ticketing,image-compression=off,jpeg-wan-compression=never,zlib-glz-wan-compression=never,playback-compression=off -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=67108864 -device virtio-serial-pci -device virtserialport,chardev=spicechannel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -chardev spicevmc,id=spicechannel0,name=vdagent -balloon virtio
I installed samba, added a user, and started the service according to the wiki.
I allowed the samba ports in UFW (using the CIFS rule).
Whenever I try accessing the share inside my XP guest (\\10.0.2.4\qemu), I usually end up with a target not found error, or at times, a password prompt that will not accept the samba user/password.
Anything else I forgot to do?
Thanks, Adam.
* EDIT *
I somehow missed the section regarding the guest OS able to access the host OS normal samba shares at 10.0.2.2.
Default samba share for home folder works as expected.

Thanks.
I tried toying with the options a bit more, with no success.
I then decided to try Spice+QXL anyway, and am very happy with it.
Aside from the lengthy compilation of the Qemu version that supports Spice from the AUR, once I got it set up, installing the guest was a breeze.
Using the Spice guest tools for windows, everything was set up very conveniently (virtio for network, hdd, qxl driver, mouse integration etc.).
Responsiveness is much better comparing to previous attempts with "vga std", "vga cirrus" and normal adapter.
Bottom line, I'm sticking with Spice+QXL, seems to work best for me.

Help setting up Applescript to process with a batch of files.

Hello everyone!
A couple of days ago I posted here about needing an Applescript to be able to parse large text files into smaller ones. A lovely contributor, twtwtw, helped me out and came up with this script:
set f to choose file with prompt "Choose the file to parse."
tell application "Finder"
    set fName to name of f
    -- the following line assumes that the file name has a three character extension, like '.txt'
    set foldName to text 1 thru -5 of fName
    set fold to (make new folder at (path to documents folder from user domain) with properties {name:foldName}) as text
end tell
set fp to open for access f
set bigText to read fp
close access fp
set parsingText to "All Rights Reserved"
set parsedList to tid(bigText, parsingText)
-- the following line requires that the file name be exactly in the form "<prefix>_<suffix>" with only one underscore
set {prefix, suffix} to tid(fName, "_")
repeat with i from 1 to count of parsedList
    set newFName to prefix & "_a" & i & "_" & suffix
    set fp to open for access (fold & newFName) with write permission
    -- uncomment the following line if you need to overwrite old files, otherwise it will append
    -- set EOF of fp to 0
    write ((item i of parsedList & parsingText) as text) to fp
    close access fp
end repeat
on tid(input, delim)
    -- a subroutine to handle text item delimiters. Useful tool, but so danged wordy.--
    set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, delim}
    if class of input is list then
        set output to input as text
    else
        set output to text items of input
    end if
    set my text item delimiters to oldTID
    return output
end tid
It turns out however, that I have about 500 of these large files that need parsing, so I was wondering if there might be a way to modify the script by allowing more than one input file, so that it would repeat the parsing action for all input files passed to it.
Can anyone help?

try this:

         repeat with thisItem in containedItems

         set fp to open for access (newFold & newFName) with write permission
-- uncomment the following line if you need to overwrite old files, otherwise it will append
-- set EOF of fp to 0
write ((item i of parsedList & parsingText) as text) to fp
close access fp
     end repeat
end processFile

     set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, delim}

         set output to text items of input
     end if
     set my text item delimiters to oldTID
     return output
end tid
I changed to system events for efficiency reasons (the Finder can get bogged down with too much scripting). the only place you might run into issues is line 11, where it says else if type identifier of thisItem…. that might miss files if they have odd type identifiers (though it should get most plain-text files). I only put that if statement in there to keep from processing spurious files that might be in the folders - you can replace that whole line with a simple else if you find it's gumming up the works.

[Solved] Trouble Viewing Samba Shares

I'm using KDE 4.6 on a x64 Arch system with all of the latest updates. I am trying to access Windows 7 shared media. If I navigate to the address in dolphin the shares are there and accessible. I'm using smb4k in an effort to mount the shares transparently for use with Banshee and other non KIO apps. The odd thing is is that smb4k sees the machine, but cannot list the shares. I'm using a default Samba config file and setup smbnetfs via instructions in the wiki. Fuse is listed in the modules array of rc.conf and smbnetfs is listed in DAEMONS. Output of smbtree:
dryce@myhost ~]$ smbtree
Enter dryce's password:

This configuration works fine in gnome, so I don't think there is a problem with the Windows 7 machine, but something incorrectly configured within KDE. NetBios is enabled despite what it says there. I'm sure I've left something out, please feel free to let me know. Any ideas here would be appreciated. Thanks

After fighting with this for awhile, I finally got it working. The smbtree error was apparently being caused by OpenDNS and their typo correction section. I disabled this entirely. The error message went away and printed network shares normally. The second error:
session request to 192.168.xxx failed (Called name not present)
session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present)
NetBIOS over TCP disabled -- no workgroup available
still happens and I have no idea why. I was able to get the shares to appear and become accessible in smb4k by enabling kdewallet first. Then going into configure smb4k and selecting "Master Browser requires authentication to return the browse list" in Network and in Super User selecting "Use super user privileges to mount and unmount shares". The shares don't appear under samba shares in KDE's Network location so maybe that's where the above error comes in.

I need to help set up my parents laptop with a second iTunes account then sync an iPad and shuffle

It's post Christmas and I'd like to help my parents by setting up my dad onto itunes ( has his own apple ID already ) as he just got an iPad Thing is, the laptop has moms iTunes already. I need to find a tutorial on how to do the second iTunes account. We don't need to share files as both want to control own purchases and own playlists. On dads account we need to add a shuffle.
Is it simple? As in once I download iTunes again, I log out mom and log in dad .
How Can this be done?
Thanks.

Hello Miss,
To set up a new Windows user account, if it is Windows 7, go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts and Family Safety > Add or Remove User Accounts > Create New Account.
The old laptop is probably on Windows XP, so the menus may look a little different.
Once they each have their own Windows user account, they can each work with their own iTunes library, and all content will be independently managed. That should avoid snarls and demerits in the coming year.

(Solved)Help setting up ALSA to mix multiple sources to one output

Hey everyone,
I've been putting off fixing this for a while, since getting the sound working was giving me trouble from the beginning. I'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to configuring ALSA and how the system works in general, so sorry if I miss something obvious or need something explained to me >.> As it has been I can only output audio with one program at a time, and I'd like to fix that now. Some quick research told me that I should use dmix, and adding this to /etc/asound.comf would enable it:
pcm.dsp {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
And I can verify that this pcm works with speaker-test -Dpcm.dsp -c 2. However, I'm not sure that programs are actually using it, since I still can't use audio with more than one program. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be listed in the output of aplay -L, but it isn't there.
There's another issue I noticed in my experiments. To get the sound working before, I had to override pcm.default to type hw, card 0, device 0. In my research and fiddling around, I noticed that in alsa.conf card 0 and device 0 are set to the defaults, and those are the ones I need to use. However, I can't remove the override since the default pcm generated by default.conf doesn't work for some reason. Also, this overridden default won't show up in aplay -L's output, or as an option in programs that have a similar list of pcm's as output device options (like vlc, or kmix).
Sorry if this sounds weird, I'm still not 100% sure what is going on here. Let me know if you need more info from me, need the output from some program, etc.
Edit: Well I found a solution. This in asound.conf:
pcm.!display {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
hint {
show on
description "dmix default"
Sets the dmix pcm as default, and shows it with a description. Still don't know why the generated default pcm doesn't work, but I guess it doesn't matter.

Need help setting up an IP phone with the Westell 9100EM router

I have an IP phone that I use for work - it's an old fashioned Axxess phone by InterTel but it works. I've had both DSL and cable service before, using a Netgear wireless router with the phone and never had an issue with the phone connecting to our office phone system. I just recently moved and have FIOS and chose not to hook up the Netgear, since the Westell does DHCP just fine.
When I connect the phone, the phone is receiving an IP address from the router and I can see it's connected when I'm logged onto the router but it will not connect with our system. The phone runs through UDP port 5567 but connects usually with TCP port 5566. I can ping 5566 and get a reply. I can telnet our Remote IPC IP using 5566 and get a response but the phone times out after 60 seconds of not being able to connect.
I have checked out this website and am guessing it has something to do with port forwarding. I tried to make some changes but I'm not sure I understand enough about how it's supposed to work to feel confident that I put the right information in the right places!
I could really use a nudge in the right direction. The phone worked a few days ago on a DSL connection so I know the phone is working. Other users who work from home are not having issues with their IP phones so I've narrowed it down to the router. Both my computers are working on the system too.
Thanks!
Anne

#1 http://i27.tinypic.com/2due29v.jpg
At that screen in your router, change the Starting IP so that it is
192.168.1.100
#2 On the Axxess phone by InterTel, setup a static IP outside of that range.
You can set any number that you want to BUT NOT: 0, 1, 100 to 255.
#3 Here is/are guide(s) for that router (This is based upon the screen images seen so far)

Help: Set up Time Machine Drive with Airport Extreme

I've read a few posts on this topic, none of which addressed my specific issue, but all of which stated that this functionality is not officially supported. I really hope this is not true because I bought my Airport Extreme and Hard Drive based on numerous Apple Store clerks assuring me that this was possible. So any help would be most appreciated. Here's the details/story:
I have a 13" MBP 2.53ghz, running 10.5.8 I've been backing up to a local 1TB HDD over FW800 since July with no problems.
I bought an Airport Extreme and am trying to move the drive to the AE to back up wirelessly. Here's what's happened so far:
1. I connected the drive with USB to the AE. It mounted no problem and I could see all my backups easily, but Time Machine did not recognize it as my back up drive. When I used the "Change Drive" button in the hopes of "finding" the drive, it just tried to start a new Time Machine back up set, wirelessly. So I think the broad concept is working, it just a matter of getting TM to recognize the back up set.
2. I plugged the drive in locally with USB (rather than FW800) and did a back up, no problem. After doing this, and plugging the drive back into the AE, TM no recognizes my backup set as mine, and tries to start the next backup, but I got an error message about not being able to write to the drive.
3. I did some reading online to get some ideas, I used Disk Utility to verify and repair the drive (over USB locally) Disk utility did find some errors, but it didn't seem like anything major.
4. Now, TM really starts to get going doing a backup, but when it actually comes time to transfer/write the new data over, I get an new error, that my drive is not formatted as a Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I use disk utitilty again, which confirms that the drive IS Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and is partitioned GUID (which I read is also a requirement)
And this is where I am. Any one have any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I'd hate to think it's just to sell their $500 2TB Timecapsule (which is more than 2x the cost of competing 2Tb drives). Maybe Apple should share their secret sauce with the other drive makers so that they all can work.
Though you seem to hate it, you have indeed hit the nail... I also had issues with USB attached drives on my AEBS (Airport Extreme Base Station). This problem occurred before Apple had the policy statement in place and they ended up exchanging my AEBS, since it was crashing the AEBS when the USB drive did not become accessible (it was a WD brand that didn't play nice with any USB connection, as it later turned out). I suspect there was nothing wrong then with my original AEBS' USB connection, but the replacement was more reliable overall however, so it proved a boon. Perhaps Apple learned something from my previous problems.
Anyway, Apple is not without its reasons for this policy. That's the long story.
Short story? Use supported configurations only if you want a reliable backup. In my case, can easily move my drive to a Mini and have it run in a supported configuration whether by sparse bundle format or otherwise.
Network connections do indeed format the way described. You can check this very thorough article...Suggest you read the unofficially sanctioned discussion list article by Pondini (kudos for your thoroughness, sir/madam!) first. Many great suggestions and nifty storage ideas to maximize your use of available media in your particular situation will come from a careful reading.

Need help setting up a file sharing with VISTA

Hi,
Can somebody help me with setting up a connection to a Windows Vista computer. I followed all the instructions from this forum but still it doesn't work.
Here is what I'm doing:
1) Sharing -> File Sharing -> enabled
2) Sharing -> Options -> activating SMB
3) Network -> Options -> WINS -> "WORKGROUP"
4) Network -> Options -> 802.1X -> activating 802.1X
Under Sharing I see a lable which tells me that Windows user can access my computer via the address smb://x.x.x.x
In Windows this address doesn't work and I cannot see my Mac computer nor can I see the windows computer on the mac.
It worked so well with TIGER.
Do you have set the DHCP to automatic address on both, Mac and windows or do you use a static ip address?

In windows when you do "map network drive" you need to enter "\\server\share" (without quotes).
In Vista, go to the Windows Button > Computer. The "map network drive" option is in the bar in the top of the window. You may need to enlarge the window or click on the little expand arrow to see it.
smb://server is used when you're connecting to a windows share from the MacOS.

My understanding is refind-efi 0.6.5 and above can detect kernel files in /boot and doesn't require it to be renamed with extension .efi. Currently, I am able to boot through /boot/efi/EFI/arch but that shouldn't be required anymore and should be safe to remove once I can get refind to work. What am I doing wrong in refind.conf that it isn't able to find vmlinuz-linux.

# Set the name of a subdirectory in which icons are stored. Icons must

# Use a custom title banner instead of the rEFInd icon and name. The file

# the built-in default will be used for the small icons.
# Like the banner option above, these options take a filename of an

#font myfont.png
# Use text mode only. When enabled, this option forces rEFInd into text mode.

# text mode; it uses whatever was in use when the program was launched.
# If you specify an invalid mode, rEFInd pauses during boot to inform
# you of valid modes.
# CAUTION: On VirtualBox, and perhaps on some real computers, specifying

# keywords within each stanza include:
# volume - identifies the filesystem from which subsequent files
# are loaded. You can specify the volume by label or by
# a number followed by a colon (as in "0:" for the first
# filesystem or "1:" for the second).
# loader - identifies the boot loader file
# initrd - Specifies an initial RAM disk file
# icon - specifies a custom boot loader icon
# ostype - OS type code to determine boot options available by
# pressing Insert. Valid values are "MacOS", "Linux",
# "Windows", and "XOM". Case-sensitive.
# graphics - set to "on" to enable graphics-mode boot (useful
# mainly for MacOS) or "off" for text-mode boot.
# Default is auto-detected from loader filename.
# options - sets options to be passed to the boot loader; use
# quotes if more than one option should be passed or
# if any options use characters that might be changed
# by rEFInd parsing procedures (=, /, #, or tab).
# disabled - use alone or set to "yes" to disable this entry.
# Note that you can use either DOS/Windows/EFI-style backslashes (\)

# Use of quotes around parameters causes them to be interpreted as
# one keyword, and for parsing of special characters (spaces, =, /,

# keyword. Use of quotes around parameters that specify filenames is
# permissible, but you must then use backslashes instead of slashes,
# except when you must pass a forward slash to the loader, as when
# passing a root= option to a Linux kernel.

Plz Help setting up my Mac g4 with WRT54g. PLEASE!!

Hey, first let me say that I am brand new to doing anything wireless. Just never had the need for it before and now I am completly lost and havnt a clue what to do or where to go. Here is my situation and what I want to accomplish.
First I am not trying to go wireless with my Mac. I purchased the router so I could use my internet connection with my XBox360 which is hooked up downstairs from my computer. So basically what Iwant to do is just hardwire my Mac into the router and keep the router right next to my computer. I purchased the Xbox360 Wireless network adaptor and should have all the equipment to get this thing working. The problem is Idont know how to set up the router as no software for the Mac was included and I dont have a wireless card in my Mac or anything like that. I just wanted to plug the internet connection into the router, connect my Mac to port 1 and have the Xbox be the only thing really wireless. Ihope I explkained that good enough.
I tried just hooking it up and putting the Ethernet cord from my computer in Port 1 but nothing is working. Ieven tried setting up the Xbox360 and it keeps stopping at the DNS section of the setup operation.
I am clueless where to go from here. I called on the phone and they told me that it doesnt support the Mac but everywhere I look it says that the Mac is supported and even the sales guy said I could use my Mac with this model. I am completly lost and dont know who can help me now. What should have been really simple to setup has now been a total nightmare and a waste of 175 bucks.
I would be forever endebted to anyone who can help or even point me in the right direction. Again all I want is to keep the router by my computer and keep the computer connected with a wire. Its the Xbox that I really purchased this for. Plz help.
Thank you!!
Router impaired Customer

Well, for the MAC you will have to manually configure the router. You forgot to mention the name of your ISP. If it’s a cable connection then try this :
Open IE and type http://192.168.1.1 . You will see the login screen.
Leave the username blank and type "admin" for the password. You will find the set up screen. Go to " Mac Address Clone" subtab. Enable it and click on "clone". Save the settings and power cycle If it’s a DSL connection , under the " Basic Setup " page, change the internet connection type as PPPoE and enter the username and password provided by the ISP.
Now, once you have an internet connection on the computer, you can try to use your x-box 360.

Help setting up my audio interface with logic pro x

Hi everyone,
I am a newbie with regards to home recording and using Logic Pro X and I need some help and advice about setting up my home recording set up for the first time. I want to connect my synthesizer Korg Triton Extreme to my Audio Interface Steinberg UR22 to my Apple Imac computer.
What I would like is if I can create backing tracks or use pre-set sounds or drum patterns from my Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer and then transfer them onto Logic Pro X to help me compose songs.
How should I go about doing this? And what settings should be applied to Logic Pro X so that I can hear the songs as they are being played and recorded?
So far I have connected my synthesizer's two outputs to the two inputs on my Steinberg UR22 Audio Interface. I have also connected the USB point on the audio interface to my Apple Imac computer. But when I have tried to add a drum track from the Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer I cannot seem to add any of the drum sounds. Nothing appears to be recorded despite me trying several times. I cannot hear any sound coming from the audio interface either despite having a pair of headphones plugged into it.
I would also like to find a way to synchronise the drum tracks I want to record from my Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer to Logic Pro X. So that when I click on the record button on Logic Pro X the synthesizer track automatically starts playing and recording on Logic Pro X. Whats the best way to do this? And will I need a Midi cable for any of the things I want to do?
Many thanks,
James.

Hi James
I just got myself a macbook pro and logic pro X, and I also have a Triton Extreme and the UR22. So I know what the learning curve can be like - it's been a long time since I've used a sequencer in a computer.
I assume you are aware of the difference between audio and midi? With your current setup, all you can do is play your Triton and record the sounds as audio loops - you should be able to hear the Triton through headphones plugged into the UR22, and (assuming you have installed the UR22 driver) you can also hear the Triton through your computer speakers (or headphone output) once you tell Logic there is sound coming in from the UR22.
If you want to be able to play the sounds in logic pro, or transfer drum patterns (which are in midi format), you will definitely need midi cables (you may be able to use midi by connecting the Triton's USB out to your computer, but having not tried that, I don't know if it will work - it does on more recent synths)

Help setting up small home network with PC and an imac!!!?

I have an imac in my room, and my mother has a JP PC in her room across the house. We have a router and modem on her computer(I connect to the internet through the router signal)
I just recently bought a new printer. It is a wifi printer. I was told by a friend that I need to setup a small netowrk so all the computers/printers in the house can talk to one another. Because right now my printer is installed and connected to the router signal (but my computer does not reconize it to print....)
I started a small network on my moms PC...but when I can't make a network CD like it tells me to because my computer is a Mac....how do I continue to setup this network?Can I set it up first on my mac as well???PLEASE HELP! I want to use my printer!

You can just connect the WRT54G wireless router’s LAN port to BEFSR41 router’s LAN port by using a network cable as specified in this configuring wireless router as access point article, after that can connect other computers to that wireless router with or without cable. Finally do more test to check the performance. Hope it helps.

Help setting up Compiz Fusion standalone with gdm, inittab, and tint

Hello!
I'd like to set up my fresh Arch install with Compiz Fusion standalone, using twim, and gdm as the login manager. This all with the inittab method of booting with gdm. Openbox is nice, but I have a fast PC - while I like minimalism, effects are nice.
I've looked at the wiki instructions, and a few forum threads, but haven't so far got it working.
Could someone please explain the different config files I will be working with, and how they mesh together? As in, what process does the system follow through them? Does ~/.xinitrc factor in, or is it only called through startx? That sort of thing.
And, does anyone know if Compiz Fusion will 'mesh' with tint, and provide the same mouse-over image previews of windows available in GNOME?
Thanks

If you'll be using gdm create a file called fusion.desktop ("fusion" can be anything you want to name your session and will appear in gdm session listing). Place this file in /etc/X11/sessions.
Mine for reference:
/etc/X11/sessions/fusion.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Fusion
Comment=Compiz Fusion Standalone
Exec=/usr/local/bin/start-fusion.sh
TryExec=/usr/local/bin/start-fusion.sh
Type=Application
Then you need to create a script and place it in /usr/local/bin. As you can see from my fusion.desktop file I've named the script start-fusion.sh. Here's mine for reference:
/usr/local/bin/start-fusion.sh
#!/bin/sh
# Avoid relying on autolaunch to improvise D-Bus sessions for each process
if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi
#compiz ccp &
#emerald &
sleep 6 && cairo-dock &
sleep 12 && mplayer /usr/share/archlinux/arch-anim.mov &
exec fusion-icon
Make the script executable (do all above as root or use sudo) and you should be able to use gdm to login.
Does ~/.xinitrc factor in, or is it only called through startx?
Well, that would be the case if starting from runlevel 3. You would then want to add a line like this to it:
exec start-fusion.sh
btw: fusion-icon is used rather than the #'ed out method in start-fusion.sh as it provides a way to exit out of the session.
You can also use compiz-deskmenu from aur to provide you with a menu in your fusion session.
As far as tint is concerned, I haven't used it. I use cairo-dock which has a systray plugin. Advantage being I can use it as a widget and hide it away.

Air card on Imac. Set up & share internet wirelessly with Nintendo Wii.

I have tried to set up without success, connecting my iMac,s air card internet connection with a new Nintendo Wii. I have at one point got the Wii to recognize some connection signal (name of my iMac) but no through connection to internet with air card online.
Unfortunately, I have changed several settings on my iMac in the bluetooth and airport setups so it is not at the same starting point as original.
FYI I have an airport extreme also, which has never been utilized but is a recognized network on my MAC.

Your AirPort Extreme should be connected to the internet via the modem or whatever your ISP provides. The Mac and Wii connect to the AirPort, either wirelessly or via ethernet cables. When set up this way, your Mac will have nothing to do with connecting your Wii to the internet.
I hope this video will help:

[SOLVED] Help setting up wireless/wired

Hello everyone! I installed arch last night on my desktop and had no issues, ethernet worked during install and wireless asked for firmware. (b43/ucode5.fw , b43-open/ucode5.fw) during install i set a static IP in configuration file following the "beginner guide" after install was finished i rebooted and went to bed.
tonight when i got home i booted up my PC (damn fast!) and was assuming my LAN connection would remain. alas it didn't, I ran ifconfig and i receive "-bash: ifconfig: command not found"
i figured i'd set up my wireless because that's going to be my main source of internet anyway. so i downloaded the firmware following the "wireless guide" for my broadcom 14e4:4318 , i found out that it doesn't use the legacy driver on the kernel.org website so i followed this
sudo pacman -S b43-fwcutter
export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware"
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4/linux
sudo b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o
it moves the firmware (somewhere) i reboot and i still receive gripes about firmware! any help would be greatly appreciated as i currently have no net on this machine and would like to start configuring the rest of my hardware
Thanks everyone!
Edit:: for shits i just set eth0 to up, it's now connected to the net but my wireless issue still remains. and still no ifconfig strange!
also hello! first post, look forward to meeting you all and an exciting arch experience.

however, as stated in my edit on post 1, i tried
ip link set eth0 up
and my static i set during set-up remained, from here i grabbed the BC43 package from AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21690
rebooted and now wireless is working.
Thanks for the help RG I guess if i would have waited a bit i coulda solved it without a post, but the quick response makes me satisfied in chosing Arch as my distro !
