1. Find interface name

ip link

2.Then use systemctl command to enable dhcpcd as a service, you should read more about this as we are on systemd.  Insert interface name from step 1 into step 2 where it says <interface>

sudo systemctl enable dhcpcd@<interface>.service
sudo systemctl start dhcpcd

This is all on the wiki.  You need to read Beginner's Guide/Installation 

As a heads up, search before posting a question has solved 95% of my questions on Arch.  With so much content on the wiki/forums, the answer is literally a second away. Good luck!

If that doesn't work, you can also try

dhcpcd <interfacename>

Try another network connection manager, like wicd.
