Vmware network problem

I'm running Archlinux on Vmware Workstation 6.5.
During installation It set up network and downloaded some packages.
I had options of manual, DHCP, etc. and I choosed DHCP, everything worked and all, and I downloaded the packages...
After installation was done I rebooted and thought I should install xorg through pacman.

When I booted back into Arch first thing I did was,

ifconfig eth0 up && dhcpcd eth0

Then to make sure It was up and all, I did

ping 192.168.1.1

(my router)
So far, so good.

Then (correct me if I'm wrong), I thought I should update my system and all, and I did a

pacman -Su

Took like ages, tho. But finally everything worked.
For some reason I figured I should reboot (for forks, daemons, dependencies, etc.)

I did the same thing as before (setup the network with dhcpcd).

Then for instalation of xorg I did:

pacman -S xorg

, first I got some Y/n's (I did Y[es] on both of them), then It seems to be an error about failure retrieving the packages from core database. (I'm sorry I can't post the error message on account I have deleted the vmware-image, since it seemed to hate me..)

Bottom line:
Have anyone else had this problem? If so ... help?
