[SOLVED] Can't connect to internet after installation

Hello, I just installed Arch, and during the installation I connected to wifi (obviously, since I had to download the packages) with iwconfig and all the other tools on the installer, but after the installation I wasn't connected any more. I have no idea how to connect to the internet now, all the guides online say to run iwconfig or any of the other connection tools, which I can't do since I don't HAVE them.
I can't connect through ethernet either, I think either the ethernet port on my laptop is broken, or the drivers just aren't working (apparently people on the forums have the same problem with my chipset). My friend told me to try sudo wifi-menu, but apparently I need to install dialog for that, which, of course, requires internet connection.
Should I plug in the USB again, and try something with that? Is there any way to set up a wifi connection without using all the fancy connection tools that I don't have? Sorry if I'm being dumb, I have absolutely no idea how to connect. The wiki doesn't help, and neither does google.

I think with the last few times I've done an ArchLinux installation, I've literally set-up the whole thing (as in done base, base-devel, networkmanager, X and a DE) in the Arch LiveCD. LightDM isn't happy being set-up in the LiveCD environment though I've noticed.
For this, I use pacstrap for base and base-devel and then pacman for the rest.

  • Can't connect to Internet after sleep mode

    Hi,
    Most times after put my iBook in sleep mode and reopen it, I can't connect to Internet. I use a normal cable connection by ethernet, but at these times, when I check the network status, it says I don't have any cable connected. The modem apears to be OK, with the computer's light on. I plug off and plug in the cable and it doesn't change and it happens the same when I click in DHCP renew - it just doesn't give any IP adreess. I need to restart the computer to get the connection again.
    Ibook G3 700   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I am trying other solutions today.
    It can not change to another wifi network without switch off the wifi.
    That's mean I have switch off and re-open the wifi signal every time when it show like this capture.
    I waiting for more than 5 mins and it will search another wifi network automatically but it still "No internet connect".
    My MacBook Pro is no any WiFi issues.

  • My brand new Macbook PRO i5 can't connect to internet after sleep? It works fine after reboot.

    I have a brand new Macbook PRO with the latest OS and the latest EFI. I haven't installed any 3'rd party products except Moneywell for my private finances. After a couple of days it couldn't connect to internet after sleep. I run the network diag and it says the connection is OK. Log out/in doesn't help. I have to reboot everytime it wakes up after sleep. Any clue?

  • Can't connect to internet after software update to iBook G4

    I recently installed updates to itunes, quicktime, and the the latest security update for os x 10.3.9 on my iBook G4. Now I can't connect to the internet via my airport express. This happened the last time I updated the software, but I can't remember what I did to fix it. Can anyone help?

    I am experiencing the exact same problem with my sister's laptop. iBook G4 10.3.9 I just installed Security update 2007-008 and quicktime update. After the reboot her airport connected to the house router, but will not acquire an IP address. The other computers in the house have remained connected to the router without change. I have a another iBook G4 running on 10.4.11 with the same network settings and I have no trouble whatsoever. I re-enetered the WAP password, reorganized the network connection priorities and repaired permissions, but cannot get the computer to acquire an IP address.
    Any ideas??

  • Can't connect to Internet after update

    I've had this issue before but I was atleast able to get on iTunes & firefox. After this update my comp can't connect to the Internet period. I called my cable company & everything was working fine on their end. My modem communicates that it's linked my comp by a flashing light. In network prefrences my Ethernet says connected. I do not use a wireless router. I went to the Apple store & managed to get a connection smoothly. After I did the update was when my comp was unable to connect to the Internet, firefox, safari, iTunes NOTHING. I don't have any anti virus programs on my comp.
    Help anyone?

    Anyone???? This all happened after the 10.6.8 update...at the Apple store my Internet worked fine. Once I get this resolved I'm never updating again!

  • Safari can't connect to internet after upgrading to yosemite

    I just updated my early 2009 iMac to Yosemite from the latest version of Mavericks and now Safari, Mail, and Software Update can't connect to the internet but Chrome can (that's how I'm asking this). My internet connection is working, just not for Apple applications. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I expect to face the same problem at my (late 2013 model) MacBook Pro Retina running WIFI only. Safari doesn't open any web-side and App Store is dead too.
    Trying following tip:
    Try entering these commands in terminal.
    sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
    sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
    IT fixes it for me, as long as you don't restart.
    , it works for the moment, and just as mentioned, after restart it's gone and Safari doesn't work again.
    However, I was trying to switch off WIFI and connecting the MBP to a LAN network. After a while, a very long while, Safari and App Store were running. After that I was trying to adjust WIFI and Fire wall seeing via System Preferences, without any success.
    Google Chrome is running without such problems on my machine ...

  • Can't connect to internet after updating new Firmware wrt54g Help please!

    So i just updated my firmware on my wrt54g ver 2 router, went through all the steps it updated successfully after that i hit the reset button and unplugged the router as tehe online instructions said to. Now i can't connect to the interent at all with either of my two wired computers or through the wireless. All the lights on the front of the router are on like the power, internet, and wireless connectivity. Also the the two WAN ports my computers are connected to in the router the lights are on and it's recognising them. But I can't connect to the internet or even see the router on my network settings. Somone suggested to reconfigure the router but when i go to set up new connection my computer doesn't detect the router and also i cant connect to the router using the ip address 192.168.1.1/ since there is no internet connection. Is there a way to get to the router options or a way to revert it to its old firmware. Any help would be much appreciated. I should after updating the firmare the power button is contantly blinking.

    I am having the exact same problem..  I have the same router and same version as well.. I followed the directions and upgraded the firmware. it said update successfull and then I reset it and power cycled it to find that my network no longer works and I cannot access the router..I've looked through all the troubleshooting guides and they do not help..  It says if you can't access the web based page then to use the TFTP  utility to re-flash the router’s firmware but it seems it cannot make a connection to the router..  I've tried to ping it like it says to in the TFTP guide but it does not seem to be able to make a connection to the router..  I tried to access Management Mode to recover the router and resume the loading of the firmware upgrade but I can't get the Management Mode Firmware Upgrade page to open as well..  So what gives?  I followed the directions  but the only thing I seemed to accomplish was to brick my router..   Does anyone have a clue on how to go about fixing this problem?   Any help is appreciated.. 

  • Lumia 620 can't connect to internet after system u...

    I have a brand new Nokia Lumia 620, I've only had it for about a month. I saw there was a new system update this past Saturday, so I updated my phone. With the update came Data Sense, the option to block numbers from calling/texting me, and some other new options in the Settings menu. However I've noticed that I can't connect to the internet though my data plan anymore. I have 500 MB included on my plan and suddenly I can't use it. Connecting though wi-fi works fine. I looked through settings, it says my 3G connection is on and everything. I don't really know what to do.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Next thing to try involves a little more work. You need to contact your network and get the apn settings. Once you have the settings, goto Settings>Access points>+, then set up access point using the apn settings you got earlier.  Once you set it up, make sure to activate it and see if this works.

  • Oracle Enterprise Manager can't connect to database after installation

    Hello, I have a problem with Enterprise Manager. I installed Oracle 10g and the patch 10.2.0.2. After install, I could connect to database from SqlPlus without problems, but when I try to connect from AllPrograms - Oracle - DatabaseControl or since the Web browser with http://servername:1158/em nothing happen. I reviewed the status of dbconsole with emctl status dbconsole but the status is running. I recreated the repository with emca -deconfig.......-repos drop and emca -config ...... -repos create , but nothing happened. I reviewed some threads in this forum, but I didn't find the solution. Finally I could connect from the browser but with http://localhost:1158/em. Do you help me how can I connect from Database Control, because the operators in Computer Center should monitor the instance since there, and when I want to connect since my own PC how can do it?
    Thanks for your help and excuse my English, I am from Bogotá Colombia.
    Sincerely Rubén

    Hi,
    Check the network connectivity between db server and pc from where u want to access em.
    Check the listener service.
    Check firewall settings, it should be off.

  • IPad Air can not connect to internet after updating to iOS8.

    Safari CAN NOT OPEN ANY PAGES because the iPad is not connected to internet. I updated to iOS8 last night and have been trying to reset my ipad as well. However, the problem is still there. It even says my Apple ID incorrect. GUYS! DO NOT UPDATE YOUR iPAD TO iOS8 UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!!!!!!!! Luckily, I did not do anything with my phone. PHEW

    Other threads I've read have had people note that the following solutions have worked for them:
    If you have a 5 GHz wi-fi router, turn off 5 GHz support and let it fall back to 2.4 GHz.
    Change wi-fi router to auto-select channels, or manually select a different channel than what it's on now.
    Disable iCloud Drive.
    I'm not saying that that any of these will work, but it's something to try (one at a time).

  • Can't connect to internet after interrupted Windows update.

    I can't connect to our wireless or LAN network with my Wife's Satellite L505-S59903 running Windows 7 32 bit.  I'm not sure exactly what she did, but I think she did a hard shutdown during a Windows update.  Now when I try to connect I get an error message that there might be a problem with the driver for the wireless adaptor and LAN adaptor.  I've tried reinstalling the both drivers with no luck.  Everything else seems to work fine.  She had system restore off.  Any help would be great.

    Hello,
    Try doing a system restore on the laptop.
    Click Start>Programs>Accessories>system tools>System Restore.
