Hello,
Fairly new Arch user here. Had it installed a while back but it seems this time around something isn't configured right.
I'm not sure what information is useful for troubleshooting this, but I have no problem providing whatever may be helpful.
I'm trying to get my wireless connection working.
I am apparently connected to my wireless network, but when I attempt to ping google.ca/com/etc. I get the error
ping: unknown host google.ca
When I try to ping 8.8.8.8 I get the error
connect: Network unreachable
I've read through some wireless wiki page info and I've been searching the forums but to be honest I'm a little bit lost for a starting point because I don't understand what's wrong in the first place (I seem to have a connection but can't connect to anything).
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Absolutely
ip link (I left the other connection info out as I had to type this out manually. Please let me know if there was anything other than the wireless part of this output that might be needed)
wlp2s0: <BOARDCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 70:f1:a1:a3:2f:9e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
ifconfig
-bash: ifconfig: command not found

UPDATE:
I was following the wireless troubleshooting wiki again and running the following seems to allow me to ping google.ca now:
dhcpcd wlp2s0
I'm going to mess around a little bit more, get some stuff downloaded and I'll report back upon reboot to verify this is resolved.

Seems to have worked after numerous reboots. Network is successfully connecting (automatically) each time.
Thanks for your reply mauritiusdadd
