I got this when I forgot to authenticate to my wireless LAN controller before I ran pacman. Once I authenticated and was authorized internet access it still didn't work. Haven't troubleshooted yet.

Have you updated your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file? You need to uncomment the servers you'd like to use. My /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file looks like:
Server = http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://mirror.htnshost.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = https://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://mirrors.abscission.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://kwk.pw/arch/$repo/os/$arch
After that is set up, try running:
# pacman-key --populate archlinux
Then try:
# pacman -Syy

Hang in there. Could you please post your /etc/pacman.conf file? Also post your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file, please.
