Re: [SOLVED]network doesnt work after installation

Have you set up networking on your installed system? The installation medium is a separate system, and whether something works there has nothing to do with how you set up your system on the (virtual) hard disk.

--edit: As various posters below have pointed out, dhcpcd is one solution to your problem. But still, please read the linked Wiki article, to get a more general idea of how to manage networking on Arch Linux.

--edit2: *sigh*

Re: [SOLVED]network doesnt work after installation

systemctl enable dhcpcd

Use the above command. The installation image automatically starts the dhcpcd service so users don't have to manually connect to the internet, it is already there when one boots up with the installation image. So use the above command once you have booted up, and all interfaces will be connected to the internet if possible (or so I think, I'm new too, but this is how I made my connection permanent, so now whenever I boot up the internet is already up and running and ping works).

Or if you know which interface you want to connect to the internet with, in your case either "lo" or  "enp0s3" just use the command -
dhcpcd <interface name> where <interface name> is lo or enp0s3. See if this works. I am new, so wait for someone more experienced to answer this.
