[Solved]No network connection

Hey there,

I just reinstalled Arch and though my network card is detected and up, when I run

 ip link

and the appropriate driver r8168 starts and runs without any error, when using the

ping

command, I get the error

no network connection 

.

Anyone here,who got an idea?

Re: [Solved]No network connection

How have you configured your network?

Try to enable the dhcpcd service

Ok so the problems seems to be with the user permissions. I can only start dhcpcd with sudo, even so my user is part of the network group. Do you guys know, how to change this? Btw. I got the exact same error with

 shutdown

Re: [Solved]No network connection

Why is your user in the network group? How did you install Arch?

Re: [Solved]No network connection

I installed it following the arch wiki entry. And I added the user manually, hoping to fix that bug.

Re: [Solved]No network connection

As the commands gives exactly the results which it should give according to the article, I guess the session is valid.

Re: [Solved]No network connection

When you run the command shutdown what is the output generated?

Re: [Solved]No network connection

Did I miss something? Are regular users now expected to be able to run dhcpcd?

@fishcop, when you followed the arch wiki, how did you configure your network?

Ok I got absolutely no clue how I did it, but shutdown now works flawlessly.

Re: [Solved]No network connection

Please provide the commands you are using to configure the network and their outputs.

Re: [Solved]No network connection

And with a proper configuration of netctl now that works as well. Thanks for your time
