No network on VMware
I installed the current Arch version on VMware workstation and i have no network at all. I did have network during installation. I also noticed that perhaps this is because I don't have VMware tools installed. However, since I don't have network connection, how do I install the dependencies indicated (as a last resort I could reinstall the OS with those dependencies)?

What happens if you run (as root) dhcpcd ?

It works then. Why didn't this service start on boot? And I also don't see it in systemd unit list.

Because you did not tell it to 
It is not applicable to all Arch configurations.
And I also don't see it in systemd unit list.
ewaller$@$odin ~ [1]1004 %pacman -Qo /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd.service
/usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd.service is owned by dhcpcd 6.4.2-1
ewaller$@$odin ~ 1005 %It should be there. What if you enable it using systemctl?
