Hi All,
I have a raspberry pi 3 running Retropie 4.1 with (what appears to be) the mobile Kodi installed.
I have baught this as a pre installed package and have found that with the ethernet cable connected i can get and internet connection outside of kodi using one of the retropie apps. Kodi reconises that it is comnected to the local network but shows that their isnt an internet connection.

It is Kodi, there isn't such thing as "mobile Kodi".
Don't go for what the skin says about internet, play something online and post a debug log

Hi Rascas,
Thanks for the response :-), i have tried to install the debug tool but as kodi doesnt think is has access to the internet i cannot run the program :-( is there another way i can get the debug log?
Thanks

If you really don't have internet in Kodi, you also don't have in the rest of the system, it is the system that manages network connections not Kodi. So check your network for internet connection.

Yer its quite weird, i have internet access in the Chromium App in Retropie and can download all the updates to the packages but when it comes to kodi it doesnt want to see the internet.

In the log should be me trying to download the Kodi Logfile Uploader. Let me know if you need more :-)
Your help is much appreciated :-)

I came here for the exact same issue, except I didn't buy a pre-built.
I have two Pi 3 Model B running retropie 4.1, with a USB keyboard and a Wii U Pro controller connected via bluetooth. I've tried a few different power supplies, including a lab bench supply, so I think I can rule that out.
I am using a wired ethernet connection, but have also tried wifi to the same result.
Basically, from the Linux prompt I can see the internet, with repositories, updates and downloads all working normally. In Emulationstation the scraper works and everything seems ok.
But Kodi reports that it isn't connected to the internet, and won't scrape - but it can see my network, NFS/ SMB shares, play vids off my server, etc, with no problem.
I have tried on both Pi's I have with different builds, different SD cards, used the stock Kodi 16 from the repo, tried the updated Kodi 17 RC, all with no luck.
Also, Kodi works fine on my network on Windows PC

You have
Banned_add-ons (wiki) installed. Please remove them and post a new log.
Code:
19:35:26 107240.117188 T:1870783408 ERROR: CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Failed: Timeout was reached(28)
19:35:26 107240.117188 T:1870783408 ERROR: CCurlFile::Open failed with code 0 for http://feeds.kodi.tv/xbmc
Can see a few instances in your log of Kodi not being able to make a network connection.
Not sure of the root cause though, sorry mate
It's super strange because if I go to the command prompt I can see the internet and the Emulationstation scraper works fine.
Is there any other things I can check?
Ok, this is solved.
For some reason, Kodi had a DNS issue.
I'm not sure why, but what I needed to do was change the Pi to Google name server:
sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
Change to 8.8.8.8
After this, immediately everything works.
And I learned a hell of a lot of stuff going down this rabbit hole.
