Hello, Congratulation for your forum
I have installed Archlinux successfully, but when i reboot, and i log on, Using the command:pacman -Syu , no server has been found, impossible to connect, something like this.
Have i done anything wrong when i was installing ?
I have got Dynamic Ip
Thanks in advance.

uncomment a server from /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

You can use rankmirrors to get the mirror that give you more efficiency ( bandwidth speaking ).

Thanks for your reply, i have already uncommented some servers in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, but there is no way to update, i have read the wiki and followed everything, still no chance. Should be the problem related with DNS's?

I have used mirror from france, according to some friends is the more efficient for us here in spain. Unfortunately no way.

are you sure that you're actually connected to the internet at all?

I am sure about that, because i ve got two computer, from the other computer i am connected.
I am wondering if i have configured correctly this file /etc/rc.conf for Ip dynamic
I have it this way in networking
/etc/rc.conf
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)

that should be correct. what happens when you "ping google.com"?

As long as pinging google works (yay google!!!) try as root
pacman -Syy
with at least one ftp server uncommented from mirrorlist. In my experience using the ftp servers when doing all the install stuff goes a lot faster. after you sync the databases try
pacman -Su
still as root. If you still have problems syncing with the repos and/or have problems with google run
ifconfig
and see if an ip address is listed under eth0. It should look something like this:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:12:3F:9B:6F:7C
inet addr:192.168.2.2 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX bytes:200 (200.0 b) TX bytes:200 (200.0 b)
if not run dhcpcd which should give you output like this:
[moose@theDarkside ~]$ sudo dhcpcd
dhcpcd: version 5.2.1 starting
dhcpcd: eth0: rebinding lease of 192.168.2.2
dhcpcd: eth0: acknowledged 192.168.2.2 from 192.168.2.1
dhcpcd: eth0: leased 192.168.2.2 for infinity
dhcpcd: eth0: MTU set to 1492
dhcpcd: forking to background
[moose@theDarkside ~]$
Keep in mind in my case the output of dhcpcd is a little different since it was already running. You should see a message that it started, something about eth0, and that dhcpcd is forking to the background. If at this point you still don't have a connection run
ifconfig eth0 up
which should take care of it. This is all in the wiki but I just wanted to list the steps in this order to try and help out and just in case you internet isn't working.

pepe - please read some of the documentation provided in the wiki. As you are asking quite simple questions, I would recommend the Beginners' Guide.
