EDIT: This is a brand-new Pi 3 board running raspbian
I just got my Pi, and for whatever reason I can't access the Internet. Ethernet will try and configure forever, and when I try to connect to WiFi, the connection breaks down entirely. I'm at university, so all wireless access points and all Ethernet ports go back to the school network. I think that might have something to do with it, but all of my other devices connect to my roommate's wireless router (connected to the school network) just fine, and the old Dell desktop I have, on which I installed Xfce for kicks, connects via Ethernet just fine.
No matter what network I try to connect to, the same things happen. Here's the information I have:
- As soon as I boot up the Pi, I shut off WiFi. If I let it try and connect, nothing will happen. If I turn WiFi off and then turn it back on, everything goes to dirt.
- On the Ethernet port, there are two lights: one is solid amber and the other is flashing green
The up/down arrows on the network/Internet icon on the taskbar are flashing blue. The icon stays that way. When I hover over it, the following is displayed ('Kisha's Wifi' is my roommate's network's SSID):
eth0: Link is up, configuring wlan0: Disassociated from Kisha's WifiHere's what I see when I run

I get the 'This site can't be reached' message, with the error

Stuff happens:pi@raspberrypi:~$ ping www.google.com ping: www.google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution pi@raspberrypi:~$ ping 127.0.0.1 PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.107ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.107ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.111ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.104ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.103ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.106ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.105ms ^C --- 127.0.0.1 ping statistics --- 7 packets trasmitted, 7 received, 0% packet loss, time 6230ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.103/0.107/0.115/0.011 ms pi@raspberrypi:~$- So, I turn WiFi back on, and select my roommates SSID. As soon as I make the selection, the arrows in the network/Internet icon go gray with a little red 'x' on the end of each arrow. Now, the dropdown menu for the network/Internet icon reads
No wireless interfaces found I run

dhcpcd not runningI read somewhere that I could restart dhcpcd with
sudo dhcpcd, so I try that:pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo dhcpcd unknown option: SSID unknown option: SSID unknown option: SSID control_open: Connection refused unknown option: SSID unknown option: SSID unknown option: SSID unknown option: SSID unknown option: SSID unknown option: SSID wlan0: starting wpa_supplicant wlan0: waiting for carrier wlan0: carrier acquired unknown option: SSID unknown option: SSID unknown option: SSID Segmentation fault pi@raspberrypi:~$
That's it. No matter what access point I try, whether wireless or wired, nothing changes. It always ends the same way. Maybe there's some kind of DNS issue? But would that be on my side or the school's? How would I figure that out? How could I approach fixing it? Why would that break my ability to access the Wired & Wireless Settings window, or to view any WiFi access points?
Any help would be really appreciated.
EDIT 2: Here is the output for route -n:

dhcpcd not runningimplies you have fiddled with something.
