Can't sync pacman & can't access router

1) After installing my Arch system and configuring everything, I can't update it anymore. Everytime I issue pacman -Syu, it just stops. It doesn't matter how long I wait, it just displays nothing, no error message or anything. I've tried stopping iptables (same as wiki entry on stateful firewall), checking /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and /etc/pacman.conf, but nothing is different than it was before. When I issue pacman -Sy, I get this "error: config file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, line 7: directive 'Server' not recognized."

2) I can't access my router to do port forwarding and other configurating. I know it has to do with my iptables setup because if I stop iptables, it works. Now, I can stop it everytime I want to do router configuration, but that's just a bit of a hassel. I'm using the same iptables from http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sim … wall_HOWTO (minus NAT Gateway).
