dhcpcd daemon not working for second network connection[SOLVED]

So i've got this arch setup on virtualbox with two network connections. First one a host-only adapter and the second one a nat adapter. I wanted both of them to start up automatically afte boot. So i used

    systemctl enable dhcpcd@eth0 (for my host only adapter)

and

    systemctl enable dhcpcd@eth1 (for my nat adapter)

However, only the eth0 connection is coming up. The other one doesn't. I can get it to start manually, however, using:

    dhcpcd eth1

Any ideas what's going wrong here and how can i fix it? I'd really appreciate some help. Thanking you.

You might want to check your work. The second enable doesn't do anything. Make the symlink yourself.

ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd@.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/dhcpcd@eth1.service
