[SOLVED] Fresh install on Toshiba Satellite, can't figure out network

Hi folks, arch n00b here.

I've just done a fresh install following the installation guide on an old laptop of mine, a Toshiba Satellite A205-S5804. The ethernet connection worked fine during the install from the live boot, but now that I've booted into the installation, I'm having a devil of a time getting networking right. Here's the output from ip link:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
     link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
     inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
          valid_lft forever preferred_left forever
     inet6 ::1/128 scope host
          valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enp2s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
     link/ether {MAC omitted} brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
     inet6 {omitted}/64 scope link
          valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: wlp0s29f7u6 <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
     link/ether {MAC omitted} brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

This is after bringing enp2s0 up with "ip link set enp2s0 up". enp2s0 is ethernet, wlp0s29f7u6 is wlan (which I would love to get working as well, but baby steps). On "ping google.com", I get:

ping: google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution

On "ping 8.8.8.8", I get:

connect: Network is unreachable

If you need output from anything else, please let me know. Thanks in advance for your help!

You seem to have skipped a step as did this other user.

In short, follow the wiki:

Ah, I see. I tried to do the Network Config, but after the fact. Booted back into the live iso, chrooted into /dev/sda1, and followed the guide. I seem to have it working! Thanks!

It can be done after the fact. But you do need to enabled a networking service.
