      Hello,

      I am new to RetroPie. I have gotten everything setup, but for some reason its not connecting with my internet. First, I tried connecting it directly to my ethernet; no go (after rebooting aswell), next I connected my Pi to my Wifi, still not working either. Im trying to install Kodi and a few other packages but it always says "Connection Failed!" and the Scrapper function isn't working either. Any suggestions?

      Pi Model or other hardware: 3 b
      Power Supply used: 2.5V
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.1
      Built From: Pre made SD card image, "retropie-4.1-rpi2_rpi3.img"
      USB Devices connected: Controller
      Controller used: Logitech Dual Action
      Error messages received: "Connection Failed!"
      Log found in /dev/shm/runcommand.log (if relevant):
      Guide used: (Mention if you followed a guide) Installation guide on the RetroPie website (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/)
      File: Internet isn't working
      Emulator: Default emulator
      Attachment of config files: (PLEASE USE PASTEBIN.COM FOR LARGE LOGS)

      Thanks so much,
      Brennen Nelson.

        @Nelbrenn Is you're router set up to give out dhcp addresses? You can check if the Pi has an ip address through the Retropie menu. It shouldn't start 169 as this is the default address it'll use if it can't get a dhcp.
