Nailed it!! got it working finally what i did is i install raspain then playing around with the web browser it turns out just what we were talking about router was blocking it. I filter by mac address and even though it was in the list it was not working for some reason once i set it to allow all it all was magically fixed! Flood thanks for letting bounce ideas, I should be able to get it all running now lol, just need to fix and install then get that dam button thing sorted I mentioned before, and would like to know how to get the mac filtering working for the pi if I can, but big thanks for all your help!

I know this from using Linux for years, 99.99% of the time if it’s not working its not the computer most of the time its you!

I thought that too, I will have to open up my network and see if it makes a difference, i have it logged in the router and under the allowed list the router can see it, but it reminds me of a port block or something because if its connecting to the network i think the hardware is working fine. i tried retropie and raspian and nether would connect to the internet i did every setup i can find for the wifi and it works just not connecting to the internet and i even tried to ping google.com and didn’t work said something like unknown host.

never had this happen before and I’ve both, run and ran a number of linux and windows distros and never this problem.

And when i tried the internet cable instead, still nothing. Same block unable to apt-get update or go out to the internet in any way.

YES!! I’ve been trying to get mine going for half a month, I know a little about linux, and I’ve tried EVERYTHING! every thing i can find on youtube and forums, but nothing seams to work, i can see it, i can write files to the pi over the network, but can’t get it to connect onto the internet only my home network, and therefor i can’t get apt-get update to work or anything, I really need to get on the net so i can get this thing working, I’ve also tried both wired and the CANA usb wifi, i know the adaptor works i can see it lsusb and like i said i can write files to the pie but can’t get it to go out to the internet I hope that someone can help me this is driving me crazy!
