[SOLVED] Starting Network [FAIL] But netcfg connects me
When I start up arch, it goes through the starting... busy, success thing. When it gets to Starting Network, it takes 15-30 seconds, and says fail. Now a little after this netcfg launches and connects successfully. My question is if there is a way to stop the "Starting Network" step so I don't have to wait 15-30 seconds on that step. Btw, I'm loving arch. It is amazing!

If everything works from netcfg, you don't need the network in the DAEMONS array and you can simply disable it by prefixing it with !
However, if you still have other network cards which netcfg does not handle, you will still need network.
My advice would be to let netcfg handle everything.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Re: [SOLVED] Starting Network [FAIL] But netcfg connects me
Just don't confuse 'Network' for some mystical thing. It's just the name of a daemon. You can use any number of daemons or utilities to handle network configuration. 'Network' is just the one that comes with the base system, which it seems you are not even using.
Therefore, disabling it should do the trick.
