It is a fresh install on a new rpi, no settings changed ANYWHERE, and the device is directly connected to my router via ethernet, so as far as I can tell there’s not much room for things to go wrong here.
Does anyone have an idea what might be going on here?
edit: I forgot to add that I did the network test on the menu trying to connect to google.com and it failed as well.
I found the solution.
It seems that the problem was that my time zone was incorrect and the network adapter settings were somehow not actually existing(?)
Anyone who encounters that problem should attempt the following steps, they fixed it for me:
Enter Dietpi Config
Under ‘Language/Regional’ change your time zone
Under ‘Network Options: Misc’ MANUALLY set the ‘Boot Net Wait’, ‘G_CHECK_URL Timeout’, and ‘G_CHECK_URL Attempts’ to whatever you want (even if you want to keep the default settings, set them up manually)
‘Under Network Options: Adapters’ test your internet connection.
