No internet connection

General system Newbie
1

I’ve just installed Endeavouros and i haven’t been able to connect to internet both during live boot and after installation. I can connect to internet using USB tethering on my phone so i tried toggling between r8168 and r8169 drivers but both of them didn’t work. I tried installing Manjaro OS and i wasn’t able to connect to internet there either

Is there anyway for me to fix this?

Can you share the output of inxi -Fxxxz so we can see what specific hardware you have?

Apparently your Ethernet connection is up and active.

Check you have an IP address, e.g.

ip a show enp34s0

and try pinging your router. If you have an IP address and can ping your router then it’s likely an issue with DNS.

I typed the command and this is the result. What does it mean
2: enp34s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:d8:61:c9:7e:da brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

inet6 fe80::8e92:2e6c:ca60:e2a6/64 scope link noprefixroute
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

It means you have an IP address which means your LAN is working. This in turn means, if you still cannot access sites on the Internet, that the issue is with your DNS resolver. Or, you have no Internet connection on your router. Or your ISP is blocking connections. Whichever it is, it’s not an issue with the EnOS installation.

Sorry im new to linux but is there a way for me to fix it

8

Maybe, but you’d have to work out what’s wrong first.

Can you

ping -c3 www.google.com

?

Also, what’s the output of

cat /etc/resolv.conf

?

Thanks for the help. Couldnt have done it without you
