So I'm trying a new install of arch on one of my machines and I keep getting
# dhcpcd eth0
Error, eth0: timed out
I've tried extending the timeout to a full 2 minutes, but the error persists.
My rc.conf looks like this (important parts):
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway
So, it all looks normal to me, but I can't get it to connect for anything.
ifconfig eth0 gives:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1E:37:82:BC:C6
inet addr:169.254.227.123 Bcast:169.254.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

Any ideas on this one?

Also, FWIW, the Ubuntu Live CD also detects/uses the same network module (tg3) and it all works fine there.

give the output of the following commands and files (cause for connecting to inet you don't need rc.conf really )
$ route -n
$ ifconfig -a (immediately before rebooting, without dhcpcd).
Is an Etherned cable connection? Or a wireless connection?
The IP of your router.

I have the same problem. All worked fine before installing kde.
I have ethernet connection, router has dhcp and it works in windows.
ifconfig - nothing strange, but i cant send exact screenshot :-(
route -n
Destination Gateway ....
I suppose there should be some numbers below.

I ended up setting up a wireless network card instead, and that worked. So I can't say I ever solved this problem.

Can you describe it a little bit lamer's style?
I found a solution too. I run arch from cd, run setup, set "install from ftp", probe and set dhcp and restart.

I had the same problem a while ago, and solved it by putting [eth0="dhcp"]... but now the problem has spontaneously unsolved itself... :\
I'm running Arch Linux in a VM, if it matters.
