Post subject:  Pacman -Sy failure on 7.1

Clean install of 7.1. Tried to do "pacman -Sy" and hit the following error:
Code:
pacman -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from linhes.org : No address record
error: failed to update core (No address record)
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db' from linhes.org : No address record
error: failed to update extra (No address record)
error: failed to synchronize any databases


The last few lines of /etc/pacman.conf contains
Code:
[core]
Server = http://linhes.org/repo/i686/core

[extra]
Server = http://linhes.org/repo/i686/extra


Any help would be appreciated.

looks like DNS isn't working, or network in general is not working

jams, that was the problem -- thanks. I had configured a static IP through the LINHES service menu, but somehow /etc/resolv.conf had not been setup properly. I reran the network setup n the LINHES service menu, veriified that /etc/resolv.conf has properly configured and all is well now. Don't know why it failed the first time, but all is good now.

Thanks again!
