[Solved] Iwd's DHCP thing is not working.

I am on a new installation. Installed iwd and wrote the following config file, as suggested by the wiki.

[General]
EnableNetworkConfiguration=true

[Network]
EnableIPv6=true

After this, I started the iwd's systemd service and tried to connect to my home network. It connects, but then shows this error every time I try to ping any website.

ping: archlinux.org: Temporary failure in name resolution

I have tried many websites and other networks I have here, without success.

Check your journal/service status.

Also DHCP != DNS. Is systemd-resolved started/enabled? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd-resolved

I was about to post the status here, but starting systemd-resolved fixed the problem. It was a lack of understanding by me then. Thanks!
