this is what I have in my resolv.conf file.

# Generated by dhcpcd from ra0
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
nameserver 192.168.1.1
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line

is anything wrong or missing?

using "wpa_passphrase" to genarate your wpa2 key,
and paste the code to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.
in terminal type in "wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf".
open another terminal, using "dhcpcd wlan0" to auto get ip.

try and see.

i have to say that the problem was, i think, the firewall.
it was avoiding me to connect to any ftp repos, so i just have changed to the http repos and pacman start working smoothly.
is a good thing to have both ftp and http, just in case....
