pacman can't access package repositories.

I've recently installed Arch Linux via virtual machine and I've been trying to download Xfce. However, when I try "pacman -S xfce4", it says it can't find the package. Looking on the wiki page told me to try "pacman -Syy" to force update the repositories, and here's what I got:

"error: failed to update core (no servers configured for repository)
error: failed to update extra (no servers configured for repository)
error: failed to update community (no servers configured for repository)
error: failed to synchronize any databases
"

I've tried checking if I have any connection by pinging Google, and I do. So, wat do?

Check if you have uncommented the servers in pacman.conf:

[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

If you have a '#' at the beginning of the line starting with 'Include' - remove it and try again.

Have you uncommented any servers in your mirrorlist?
