[SOLVED] connection problem after installation

hey there i just installed latest archlinux iso to my virtual machine.
during installation there was no problem. i can connect internet no problem with downloading. ping google.com or 8.8.8.8 works without problem.
after installation i try to update my system with

pacman -Syu

there exist lots of connection error.

when i try to ping google

ping: google.com: Name or service not known

when i try to ping 8.8.8.8

connect: Network is unreachable

Re: [SOLVED] connection problem after installation

Welcome to Arch Linux.

Have you set up your network? See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … edirect=no

BTW, this is a common misconception for people new to Arch Linux: if something is true on the live system on the install ISO, it is not necessarily true for the installed system - for example the network working, or the available packages/software/commands...

Re: [SOLVED] connection problem after installation

You're supposed to read the page and learn.  You need to get at least to this section: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … IP_address

Note that virtual box provides a virtualized ethernet regardless of whether the host computer's connection is wired or wireless.  So just enable a wired networking service.  I prefer dhcpcd, but there are several other options.
