Do you mean 4 computers/servers on a shared backbone which goes thru a common router/gateway to the Internet?
Are they each individually and directly accessible from the Internet, or are services on 3 of those passing thru the 4th which is acting as a gateway for outsiders to reach their services?

I’ve been a sometime member of PLUG, The Perth Linux User Group, which fosters
the Use of Gnu/Linux. Are you in W.A. or somewhere else Eric?
If you come discover that your window edge “grab-zone” is too small for your liking, the following is a full discussion around that topic and what the experts were recommending, for MATE.
I am not an Arch Linux user, but the initial steps for Linux are essentially common.
Did you successfully download an “Live ISO image” for Arch Linux?
Did you successfully copy that onto a DVD or USB key?
Did you successfully tell you BIOS/UEFI to choose that device for boot priority?
Did the Live session come up with a GUI where you can open a Terminal session with access to the command line?
(This is critical, because success at this point tells us that the chosen distro’s Live environment can fully recognize your critical core hardware. If this step fails, then there is a need to use completely different strategies to analyze the problem.)
If so, please share with the Community the report of the following commands, so that they can fully understand your hardware context:
sudo inxi -Fxxx
sudo lspci
sudo lsusb
After studying those details, the Arch adepts will have a better understanding of how best to guide your next steps at troubleshooting and installation.
