Can pair with wifi but cannot talk to the network

Tigraiou · 2018-02-12 12:39:11

Hi, I'm on my network but I cannot connect to the dhcp server nor acces the network with a static ip.
I know the network work because i'm currently connected with my phone and deliver wifi to my computer via bluetooth.

I've done research on the forum and on google but i cannot find anyone with the same problem as me. It's weird because this is my work network but I can connect to my home network.

So you are using bluetooth tethering and connecting via WLAN-standard methods? First, to strengthen the belief that the issue doesn't lie somewhere else, disable all network services and try tethering via USB. If this works, we'll have to see how to set it up for bluetooth. Judging from this and this, it appears to be somewhat tedious although NetworkManager seems to be able to handle it relatively well.

Btw, welcome to Arch!

Thanks for the welcome

The problem is not when I use bluetooth, it's when I try to connect my laptop to the wifi.
My bluetooth.service is disable at start so I use bluetooth only when I fail to connect to the wifi.

When I want to connect to wifi I first launch wpa_supplicant

# sudo wpa_supplicant -i wlo1 - c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -B

Then I start dhcpcd

# sudo dhcpcd wlo1

I don't use NetworkManager (I learn it exist today ^^') I just test with it and it fail to talk to the dhcp (with nmcli)

robg · 2018-02-12 17:41:58

Oh I see, thanks for the clarification.

May I then inquire

1) how you connect via Bluetooth? Could you please post the issued commands along with their outputs?
2) what happens if you disable all network-related services and try connecting via nmcli? Again, please post commands & outputs and the output of `systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled`.

ewaller · 2018-02-12 17:50:17

The obvious thing is that dhcpcd did not obtain an IP address. What are the output of iw dev wlo1 info and of ip addr ?

Here bnep0 is my bluetooth interface.

It seems that dhcpcd step is the source of the error. So look at <man dhcpcd.conf> then tweak /etc/dhcpcd.conf

Edit: even you can try static IP?
