[SOLVED] mirrors and connection issue after installation

After a new installation I tried:

pacman -S sudo

and I got:

sudo-... failed to dowload
error: failed retrieving file 'sudo...' from mirror.f4st.host : Could not resolve host: mirror.f4st.host
warning: too many errors from mirror.f4st.host, skipping for the remainder of this transaction

Same message for the remaining mirrors available in the file.
Of course, I cannot install "reflector" to use it.
If I ping archlinux.org I got:

ping: archlinux.org: Temporary failure in name resolution

During the installation I had no issues with the wifi connection.
What can I do?
Thank you in advace

How did you configure your networking?

Mobo: MSI MAG X570S TORPEDO MAX // Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X @4.9GHz // GFX: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT // RAM: 32GB (4x 8GB) Corsair DDR4 (@ 3000MHz) // Storage: 1x 3TB HDD, 6x 1TB SSD, 2x 120GB SSD, 1x 275GB M2 SSD

Re: [SOLVED] mirrors and connection issue after installation

How did you configure your networking?

This way:

ip link
ip link set interface up
# then I checked the status of the interface XXX:
ip link show dev XXX
# then I checked kernel messages for firmware being loaded with:
$ dmesg | grep firmware

The kernel module seemed successfully loaded and the interface was up. Then:

systemctl enable NetworkManager.service
pacman -S nm-connection-editor network-manager-applet

I connected via ethernet, then installed the necessary packages, finally connected to wifi via the kde applet.
