Unable to sync dbs

I was able to get the core from ftp.archlinux.org but now I tried to use easynews and it gives me name resolution errors and I can't sync up to any databases. My /etc/pacman.conf file looks like this...

[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Server = http://mirrors.easynews.com/linux/archlinux/core/os/i686
[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Server = http://mirrors.easynews.com/linux/archlinux/extra/os/i686

[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Server = http://mirrors.easynews.com/linux/archlinux/community/os/i686

Any ideas?

Re: Unable to sync dbs

Okay, so I had everything right, when i rebooted last it reset my network. However, another problem has arised. When I try the command, pacman -Syu it goes through then says I need to get a new version of pacman, so I do and then it gives me,

missing package file list in __________, generating one
error: could not prepare transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
errors occured, no packages were upgraded.
pacman: /etc/pacman.d/mirror list exists in filesystem.
