Asus 1201n no LAN

So I installed arch from the latest core iso last night onto my Asus 1120n netbook, and at boot I get
*Starting Nerwork... [Busy]
followed by
dhcpd timed out       [Fail]
when I have it plugged into my router. Also, I cannot run pacman -Syu without getting a transient resolver failure. I have uncommented all the US servers in my pacman mirrorlist, and haven't done anything else, as I don't know what to do. I know that this is definitely a problem with my network, but It works on Windows 7 wired and wireless, crunchbang wired, chromium OS flow wired and wireless, FreeBSD wired and wireless, and wired on fedora core 12. I'm not sure if I will be able to compile anything, since it is just a base install; I don't even know how I would get the package onto the netbook, since I cannot get internet and I don't know how to  mount a flash drive (mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/drive returns "wrong Filesystem", when it is fat32).

Re: Asus 1201n no LAN

dhcpcd gets the ip adress/gateway/dns settings from the router. it looks like dhcpcd might not be working correctly, try using dhclient, or settings static ip settings .
