[SOLVED]Boot stops at Reached target Network.1 Interface and Graphic..

Newbie here. I've been using this arch install for about a month now with no problems until today.
Whenever booting it stops at "[   OK   ] Reached target Network.1 Interface" so I unplugged the ethernet cable to test and rebooted but then it just stops at "[   OK   ] Reached target Graphics Interface....." Then sometimes on boot with the ethernet plugged in it stops at  "[   OK   ] Reached target Graphics Interface....." with nothing about the network interface.
Other posts have suggested a problem with Nvidia so I reinstalled that, but that doesn't seem to affect anything. I've tried nvidia-xconfig and pacman -Syu,  I am using GDM/GNOME. I am not sure what to try next. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

EDIT:
The solution was to uncomment the WaylandEnable=false line in /etc/gdm/custom.conf
Works flawlessly now. Wow this forum is so helpful. Thanks guys!

Welcome to Arch Linux.

What happens at that point if you type Ctrl-Alt-F2 ?
Can you ssh into the box from another machine (with the network cable attached)

Could you simplify your boot and disable gdm to see if you can boot into just console?

This sounds like the problem I was having that I outlined in this post. Try editing your

/etc/gdm/custom.conf

so that it appears as follows:

# GDM configuration storage

[daemon]
# Uncoment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false

[security]

[xdmcp]

[greeter]

[chooser]

[debug]
# Uncomment the line below to turn on debugging
#Enable=true

That did the trick! Thanks man you're a life saver.
