strange things with netcfg

Hello, I do not had too much time to dive in the problem yet, but here it is:

I've installed arch on virtualbox, I use netcfg ( I will have multiple interfaces soon, that was the reason ).
Netcfg worked for me on several machines.

By now, if I use netcfg ( network daemon is not started! ), i can ping anything, DNS resolving works, but

pacman does not, and if I try a browser like links ( the machine stays console-based ),
the browser stucks at "REQUEST SENT" and nothing happens.

I have no error messages, nothing related in /var/log/errors.log or .../messages.log or .../everything.log

If I shut down the net-profiles "daemon" and start /etc/rc.d/network, everything works fine

So, to resume:

for me it seems that I have set all the settings correctly, ICMP works, maybe TCP/IP not ?

What am I missing?

here's my config file

/etc/network.d/myinterface

INTERFACE='eth0'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.1.200'
BROADCAST='192.168.1.255'
GATEWAY='192.168.1.254'
DNS='192.168.1.254'
