There is a BUG with installer (well I think):
During installation and going to Configure System:
Do you want to use the network settings from the installer in rc.conf and resolve.conf? Clicking Yes, will add that settings to these two files, but in rc.conf that part is commented(I have had STATIC IP during install), and DHCP is used, that can be checked also in installation "Configuring system" or after reboot.
This task depends upon

Same problem with the x86_64 iso for me. Not a huge deal, but can cause unexpected issues for a box to get dhcp when you don't expect it to like mine did.

Please tell me:
1) automatic installation or manual?
2) net install or core?
3) did you configure networking IN aif, or manually on the console?
4) the relevant networking config lines in the generated rc.conf - also the ones commented out - (the ones after your hostname and before '# Enable these network profiles at boot-up') (exactly!!)
5) does /mnt/etc/rc.conf exist on the livecd right before and after this step? can you open the file?

Culprit: http://projects.archlinux.org/initscripts.git/commit/?id=ad1e81556aa351fea39ed6eaf6efbed0ba7ce894
Fixed in git: http://projects.archlinux.org/aif.git/commit/?id=9525c62d5f6fc9e23f7571b26d6b1deaec685789

you can test by installing aif-git from AUR onto the live image. but since the patch was so trivial I'm pretty sure it's fixed.
Reopen if not.
