Hi I was hoping someone could help - my Arch system was working fine till yesterday, when I synced and upgraded with pacman. Since then, I have been unable to get my router to give my computer an IP address. I therefore cannot connect to the internet and do not know what the problem is.
Is there possibly a way to roll back to how my system was yesterday.
Regards

tail /var/log/pacman.log
will show you the last pacman operations. See what have you updated and downgrade those apps if you want.

Do you have more than one network interface card on your computer ? Does the 'dhcpcd' or 'dhclient' program are still installed on your computer ? Can you set a static IP on your network interface ?

I had a similar problem and it was all because of some settings in /etc/rc.conf. Could you post that, please? I think it had something to do with my default gateway...

More than one network interface in the box?

While you are at it, make sure that the hostname is correctly set in rc.conf and in /etc/hosts files.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Did the kernel got updated? if then, have you rebooted the box?
Having a different kernel version running and modules in the filesystem can sometimes lead to unloadable kernel modules.

Is it possible that the network interface that your using doesn't exist? You can check this with
# ifconfig | grep eth0
Replace "eth0" with whatever interface you want to use

'ifconfig -a' will show those that exist and whether they're running etc.

@karol: That doesn't work for me, nor is that option in the man page... hmm... but thanks for the tip.
