Which IP should I use? I'm very bad when it comes to networking. DNS, Gateways all goes like a bouncer for me.

I have been telling you all along. See Post#17 above. Those highlighted lines should work.
Then configure Network (read Post#15).

OFF TOPIC: My system freezes with intel drivers on Arch

Here is what I get after I tried editing the line as shown in #17.

Also pppoeconf returns with command not found.

Once you get online then use pacman
You dont have any serious problem. Just need the eth0 unterface to setup.

ifconfig -a will give you whether your ethernet (eth0) is up and running . But it seems its down.

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up will bring eth0 interface up and will assign the static ip as in rc.conf file

As for pppoeconf, have you installed rp-pppoe package?
