[SOLVED] I broke my internet connection

So something happened and now my internet connection isn't working any more. I tried reviving it with nmcli, I managed to
bring it "down", but it never came "up", the command would just freeze. My journalctl -f shows tons of lines that I can't physically post here (I'm writing this on my laptop), but the most important one is:

device (enp5s0): state change: unavailible -> disconnected (reason: 'carrier-changed', sys-iface-status: 'assume')

I guess that the 'carrier-changed' thing happened after I've duplicated a connection via nmcli and then deleted the fresh duplicate. Now the question is how do I change the carrier back? Or there's something more to it?

Re: [SOLVED] I broke my internet connection

I've just ran nmcli con up [myconname] again and here's a bit more info I've found:

device (enp5s0): state change: ip-config -> failed (reason: 'ip-config-unavailible', sys-iface-status: 'assume')

The carrier seems to have change back itself, I've checked ip a, the device looks fine.

Re: [SOLVED] I broke my internet connection

Is there a way to completely reset all of my network settings on Arch?

Re: [SOLVED] I broke my internet connection

Just tried to start a connection using dhcpd, no luck. I might be doing it wrong though, idk.

Re: [SOLVED] I broke my internet connection

Just noticed something. I've booted via a USB with Arch I have lying around and also doesn't have any internet connection. Is it a problem with physical connection?

Re: [SOLVED] I broke my internet connection

Ooops, just gave my cable a wiggle and it worked! Seems like 'ip-config-unavailibe' points out that there's something wrong with the physical connection. Correct me if I'm wrong. Closing topic as solved.
