I am not able to get into ALARM at all.
I have to use the pogoplug interface via ssh.
I was able to edit the eth0 to static. But for some reason whenever the alarm usb is plugged in it will not pull an IP address.
As for setting DHCP up on the router, I do not want to do this. I want to set static so I do not have to worry about it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')s for setting DHCP up on the router, I do not want to do this. I want to set static so I do not have to worry about it.
DHCP and DHCP reservations are kind of different things. DHCP reservations pretty much works like static IP, but with much less management.
I'm not sure why you think you would have less to worry about with static IP addresses compared to DHCP reservations. When you use static IP address, you have no central location to figure out which IP addresses are taken. If you want add a new device to the network, you have to make sure you use an IP address not already currently used. A friend who wants to join the wireless network needs to ask you which IP address is open.
DHCP reservations work the same as a static IP address, but without any of the pain:
1) You have a central location that lists which IP addresses are "static".
2) All your devices can be configured the same - they should all just use DHCP, and the router takes care of assigning them the same ip address every time.
So, if you have several flash drives with Arch installed, and several pogoplugs, they're all interchangeable - no need to worry about what IP address is setup on which flash drive. Unless you actually want different IP addresses on different flash drives.

I really want to use the 10.10.10.103 address for the PP because my sabnzbd is already set up as well as samba and mdlna.
What happened was that my PS3 would not pull a wireless address from the router for whatever reason. So I bounced the router and hard wired my PS3. It decided to take the .103 address.
So now for whatever reason, the PP will not boot into ALARM. It will boot to the PP though when the ALARM usb is not plugged in.
I was able to mount the alarm usb and change the eth0 profile to use the 10.10.10.103 address. Like I have in my code earlier. But apparently, the PP does not like this setup and I am unable to ping it nor ssh to it. When the ALARM usb is plugged in my router does not see it in the dhcp table. It does however see it when the ALARM usb is not plugged in. It has been giving it an address of 10.10.10.105.
So I really would like to not have to re-do the whole ALARM usb again. Is there a certain file that ALARM looks at on boot-up first before netctl?

Did you disable the dhcp profile and enable the new static profile manually?

I have been working for several weeks, and I ran into the same issue. Exactly as Phat describes.
I am going to rename my profile file and change my Eth0 to DHCP and then use Reservation on my Router.
Warhead.....how do you disable a profile and enable another...?

I have the same question as Caldersm. How do I disable a profile and enable another? The only thing I did was modify the ethernet-static sample and re-named it to eth0, which overwrote the original one I had.

You don't need to be naming the netctl profiles "eth0" ...
If you see an entry in the systemd symlinks as ifplugd@eth0 - that is the interface name, not the profile.
If you see an entry in the systemd symlinks as netcl@something -- that is different.
The Wiki covers this. /etc/systemd/system contains all the active services, which are just symlinks. DO NOT CHANGE ORIGINALS THAT ARE THE SOURCE OF THESE SYMLINKS.

What does it matter if I change eth0? Like you stated, that is not the profile...
Either way. Can you help me with what I should be looking for in the /etc/systemd/system?
