I added dbus and networkmanager, and now things are working well.
I don't remember 'networkmanager' to be there on installation cd. Was it networkmanager you included or was it inetutils or net-snmp? Or is it only dbus that did the trick?

# ip link set eth0 up
Cannot find device "eth0"
# ip link

This seems really bazaar since I had internet for the installation...
]]># modprobe r8169
# ip link set eth0 up
Once you've done that, post the output of:
# lspci -k
# ip link
Error: unknown interface in /etc/rc.conf: `eth0'
So the issue still exists.

But that did make me check my logs and I found this in the /var/log/boot
Error: unknown interface in /etc/rc/conf: `etho'
Have you checked rc.conf for "etho" typo? It should be "eth0".
B) How do I get it onto my machine that doesn't have internet?
Just download packages on a working machine and install them with pacman (-U) or compile them from source. (./configure & make & sudo make install).
]]>modprobe r8169
but nothing happened. The command finished quickly and outputted nothing... what should I do next?
